Internet Censorship

Does the internet have too much censorship? There are arguments on for both sides. This link raises a few questions about the topic. Who is censoring the internet? What is being censored on the internet? How is the internet being censored? and maybe most importantly, why is the internet being censored? These are all good questions which I think we should all consider. I personally believe the internet shouldn't have to be censored, but I also think that some other things might have to change before that is possible.

My Generation

Is the most recent generation too reliant on the internet and media? That is a good question, and one that I don't think is black and white. While some people are able to use the internet as a tool for productivity, I fear this is a small group. The majority of this generation gets it's news from the Colbert Report, and wouldn't know how to spell if a little red line didn't come up every time they get it wrong. The main reason that I believe people are too reliant on the internet and media is because they don't know how to function without it. If one day the internet got "turned off," the world would be running around like a chicken with it's head chopped off. People don't know how to do simple functions or even go day to day without the internet. What happened to the simple things in life? I don't entirely blame the generation for their addiction. This is what they grew up knowing, a world where this is the norm. It is the previous generation that has paved the road for us, and put the systems in place. What did you think would happen? But life moves to fast to consider the future, what is more important is how much money we can make now. Maybe I'm just ranting, but if something doesn't change, I'm scared for the next generation.

Zeitgeist: Moving Forward

If you were moved by Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth," than you need to watch this film. If you believe issues including the riots in Egypt, and the bankruptcy in Greece are not going away anytime soon, than you need to watch this film. Not only are they not going away, but these issues are only getting worse and more frequent. It is time to stop ignoring our national and global problems, and confront them head on in a logical way. We have the knowledge and the power to save our planet and it is time to make a change.

"Zeitgeist: Moving Forward" is the third and final film in the zeitgeist series directed by Peter Joseph. The films are part of a larger movement to bring social change and reorganize world system. A world not run by corrupt politics, or radical religions, but in logical and proven science. A world in which our systems are put to the test, and if they fail then they are fixed, not avoided. And most importantly, a world in which science would eliminate the need for tedious jobs and money. This may sound like crazy talk to some of you who are reading this, but take the time to watch the film and then let me know if you think it is crazier than the world we live in now.
