Internet

Scientists believe that one of the reasons Homo sapiens became so successful in the first place was their advanced language and speech centres in the brain. This empowered them by enabling communication on a level superior to other early humans allowing complex planning and sharing of information. The Internet gives us, for the first time in our development a substantial upgrade to this fundamental communication skill. We can talk to another individual anywhere in the world, at any time of night or day about any subject we choose. We can share knowledge and information without the traditional boundaries of race, religion, politics or geography. If an event occurs in the world, I can talk directly to someone there at the time without relying on the media and their bias. The power elite fear this communication revolution and the power it puts in the hands of us all. Every man woman and child on this planet has access to knowledge and information on a scale never seen before. We are more educated and informed than at any time in our history and development as a species. This evolution revolution scares our masters as we are not so easy to control through misinformation anymore. We do not have to look to far back into our history to see many of examples of how propaganda, fear and lies have been used as political tools in order to better enslave the masses in order to profit the ruling classes. Not so long ago the internet was viewed as geeky and populated by science fiction fans and porn addicts. While there is an element of truth in this myth today a huge number of us have access on our phones with cameras, giving us the power to report as well as observe events anywhere at any time. There has been a huge jump in technology and the remarkable growth of the internet and the potential uses it has for society as a whole. As big business and governments the world over use the internet more and more legislation and censorship becomes a bigger issue as the number of users grows exponentially. Put simply, they fear we can turn this new power it gives us against them and that the slaves will revolt against their masters. Too many times we have seen technical and scientific breakthrough used to create weapons, we need to ensure the internet does not become the latest tool of oppression and fear. If we can all continue to share our knowledge, experiences and beliefs without censorship the world will be a better place for us all to live. We need to create a truly global theatre of debate and communication in order to empower us all. If we are to be free then we must continue and nurture this exiting explosion of communication and information without the ruling classes hijacking the internet for oppression and profit.
