THREATS TO INTERNET USAGE

You are being referred to an article to illustrate many aspects of the news we receive.  First, this article mentions actions by China that were not, if at all, broadly covered in the general press.  Secondly, the addenda at the end lists a few rather significant (at least they seemed so to me) errors in the original article.  

The media emulates 'Chicken Little' rather frequently and scare tactics have been used by governments (our own as well), forever.  The need for combative war will soon be obsolete though politicians and men who think power is in violence may continue to try to use it.  Instead, power throughout the world is being redefined.  One thing that has not and probably will not change is the power of money.  There is also a power usurped in the guise of religion.  Today, however, the greatest power lies in ways that limiting or corrupting use of the Internet can cripple a country as quickly as arms and bombs..


I would welcome the thoughts of others to my own.  Read the article and comment.  Click here.
This article tells how China meddled with the Internet.  While China claims it was an accident and no harm was done, there are clearly those knowledgeable in the Internet workings who raise alarms. 


The Internet has become critical for instant information and news dissemination, calling for help, social networking, marketing and sales, entertainment, human cohesiveness globally, and so many more functions that are too numerous to mention.  As a somewhat non-sequitor of information, I am including a site forsome Internet statistics.  Click here.
