How has technology evolved in your lifetime?

The thesis of my book is that the technological revolution that we are witnessing is going to be a pivotal tool, enabling us to organize and communicate on an international level like never before throughout history. The globalization that we so fear and that derives from the media, or it's message, can be used as a social liberator as opposed to a means of social control. The concept that the media is the message is embodied in this actual blog that I made. My point is, the communication system in the world, languages, radio broadcasting, television, satellite cable, cell phones, newspapers, adds in the streets... Everything is mediated by the government, whom is busy bowing down to corporations or foreign banking superpowers. So the information that is communicated to the masses is meticulously fabricated.

The internet is still very new, and there is virtually no limit to what you can accomplish. The concept of having multiple conversations through little windows on your monitor, with voice and telemetry at that... There was none of that a generation ago. The digital evolution oh humanity is happening at an exponential rate.

How does that tie into politics? Well that's a whole other post. I'm just saying, we never had this opportunity, or this kind of voice before. Acknowledging we can't please everybody, I'd like to look at prototypes for an international society. We'll call it research.
