The last thing the internet needs...

The last thing the internet needs is another fat white man prognostication about things from a privilege place. I guess I'm just sore about someone having described where I come from as "fly over" a couple days ago.

My admission is that I'm less concerned about usage of new technology in the United States. We have a deep division of wealth and resources. However, from an absolute standpoint a large proportion of us can afford a great deal of technology.

The Democrats and Republicans can use this technology and, relatively, so can the Greens. So what about places that have a greater measure of absolute poverty? How can this relative imbalance in resources influence the use of these technologies?

The use of Radio in the Rwandan Genocide is bound to expand into the new media, just like we have. Wow, additional tools. Imagine a vertically integrated system of mass- and peer-to-peer- communications.
