there's a program on the bbc. or it soon will be which tries to show the internet as a new super power. all the social networking. it's ability to pass government barriers and cultural divides etc.
so my questions are these; has the internet gotten too powerful for it's own good. can it be used as a tool against the public who use re; disinformation. can people make conspiracy theories seem more than they are, either for or against the powers that be.
personally i think the net as it is is brilliant. it's a good learning tool etc.
i do think it's slowly taking over from the usual media as a way of educating us to the so called rights and wrongs of society. (though not in a truthful way)
i think we could do with a few new protocols and laws to make it people safe etc. copyright laws. privacy laws. i do think it has become the new super power. it can be used to bring people together and also tear people apart. it's a great tool for sharing jmo.
so whats do you all thinks.
