I certainly agree with the idea that the potential for these tools to be used to effect meaningful and broad-based social change is huge and still largely unrealized. In what country do you live?

There is couple of points that Steve Dembo mentions that directly parallels what we have been discussing in our present graduate class. If I recall correctly, Steve suggests that this new simple technology breaks down mental barriers about what is possible. Secondly, it allows us to publish material on line on real time. Steve further comments that the potential for so much “power” exists and that such a technology changes the way we may think and see ourselves. I must admit that what really struck me is his statement that what is really phenomenal about this technology is that it allows us to synthesize, explore and make connections in real time. The power to break down immediate barriers because of real time communication is hard to describe in words. When I hear this, I am thinking of providing instant feedback on issues such as world hunger, diseases, global warning. These are issues that haunt developing countries like mine. To make it more meaningful for me is the fact that it is a technology that can be made available even to those with limited resources. My cynicism about the potential of these new technological tools is fading with each little discovery I make each day!
