A Step Back

Iran bans fast internet.

This came up in a Google discussion today. If I may paraphrase a Googler, it reminded us that "those of us who are fortunate enough to have easy access to information tend to take it for granted and forget just how important access to knowledge is for those people who don't have it".

The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.
Sir Winston Churchill, Speech at Harvard University, September 6, 1943

I had a similar discussion with my folks just recently, very interesting...

They still use dial-up for their internet and don't know the difference and are completely happy but the day they get to experience the alternative, just as most will be hooked...

It's ironic that the Persians were among most advanced and civilized races before the butcher-conquerors took over.

Actually this is again one more sign than a real attempt to prohibit our information-culture. I am sure that the modern iranian youth is not less informed about the global political situation than the youth in our democratic countries.

I only hope for the people there, that they will never have a situation like in Irak and wish them peace.

hi,

too many people are speaking for other people, it's so sad. i wish for the people to speak for themselves. how do you like if i speak for you, things i think by my own self, for you?

why do people do that?

if people want to do that, at least please. ask the people you're speaking for, is that is what they really think or want.

please.

Hopefully it helps to understand each other when we talk to each other.
