It seems to me that the internet far out reaches the concept of countries - invisible lines in the soil if anything. For me the concept of the net is to provide a medium which supersedes the political and social restraints of any one particular place or organisation allowing true expression to take place in a manageable fashion, which can be used by anyone who chooses to take part - I live in a so called democracy, although its actually a dictatorship with a choice of three different puppets, none of whom are suitable for the job in any way, shape or form. It stands to reason that anyone who believes they have the ability to govern or rule over people is a megalomaniac, and therefore should not be suitable for the job. I cant choose not to be part of the political system here, even if I find a better way to live my life and so I feel like an outsider to the system and dwell on the fringes of so called society - the internet is a place where I generally find the things I need and they come from every corner of the world, as regardless of the geographic location or any political or social trends or policies in that region it makes no real difference as it all comes from the same screen.
Since I began using the internet I have seen a marked reduction in the number of racist comments or racially motivated trolling etc. that I see online, while out on the city streets there is a marked rise in racially motivated and generally violent crimes (stabbings in particular).
I wonder if it would actually be possible to appoint a single person or organisation to represent the e-views of the populous, given the hyper-complex and personal nature of individual internet use per person? Every single person I know uses the net in a different way!
Would love to know other peoples opinions on this, feel free to reply!
