The Internet media of today has the
potential of being the Alexandria library of our time, complete with video and
audio documentation that can be shared with several billion souls worldwide; a
potential coverage unequaled in the history of communication.
The
passive television of the past forced the world to see unique cultures and
customs diluted into a common visual ideology rather than into a global
cosmology; misunderstandings and wars resulted. The technology of the present
has the potential to change that.
Used
in an innovative and creative way, the Internet media’s responsibility is to
reduce fear and encourage a global partnership and a community of cooperation.
It is a way to see, not only the oneness of humankind, but also the diversity
within the oneness.
The
new Internet media, through tweets and twitters and innovative programming,
empowers the user/viewer by changing the relationship between the individual
and the monitor. It creates a multilogue of useful and personally verifiable
information, coupled with the stories of living diverse lives.
The Internet motivates and inspires
the individual to become interactively involved, rather than passively
addicted.
When that happens transformation is
possible.
