Bradbury expresses his favor towards conventional books, printed media, explicitly in his novel. The printed media have traditionally been used to help spread democratic movements, and now the role is...

Dr. Mario R. Garcia comments that it’s a nice surprise on the distribution of the printed version of the Occupy (Wall Street) Journal during a protest. Protesters who make good use of social media have turned to traditional media. He quotes William Powers who is also happy about the news.

The 99% Is Not A Gadget
I started wondering what Jaron Lanier, author of You Are Not A Gadget, would say about the Occupy movement. He would say that the lack of focus can be a weakness of both the Web2.0 and the movement.
“There is no evidence that quantity becomes quality in matters of human expression or achievement. What matters instead, I believe, is a sense of focus, a mind in effective concentration, and an...

Powers Predicts Revolution
I keep learning about new websites supported by Web 2.0, which have helped the Occupy Movement. Despite the frequent use of digital technology, the actual movements need physical participation. This reminds me of a passage by Powers. Digital technology has made it much easier for individuals with common interests and goals to find one another and create new organizations and movements....

truedemocracy:
The so-called Internet Blacklist Bill, S. 968, aka the PROTECT IP Act, would allow the Department of Justice to force search engines, browsers, and service providers to block users’ access to websites that have been accused of copyright infringement. It would also hold companies like Twitter and YouTube criminally liable for what their users post, which could effectively shut...
