Internet's Vision 'Not Realised'

Excellent points. But we also have to decide what "information" is really important and what is not.

I don't really watch television news much. I, also, as the article suggests, don't read foreign newspapers on the Net. It's more a matter of time and, as mentioned, deciding what information is pertinent and important to me. THEN you have to ask yourself, did you do anything as a result of acquiring the information you did consider important?

The article implies that if more people will venture outside of their own cultural cocoons it will effect a general change in what? That also needs to be pondered.

The best hope for mankind is to put aside the differences that do come to light whenever we learn more about other people and cultures, and focus, instead, on the commonalities. Only then can our species begin to solve global problems like population control, management of limited resources, health issues, etc.
