What version of historical change do you believe in and why?
“Internet” is one of the greatest inventions by mankind. I fully support this point being that us human beings are highly dependent on the internet. I know for fact sake, I classify as one of those internet addicts in everyday life. Our ways of communication have changed and progressed to a new level.
Cosmopolitan view, a set of beliefs that eliminates borders and supports the freedom of right strongly believes in the advancing reforms created day-by-day by technology. This provokes questions, theories and ideas. None-the-less, it historically supports “technological advancement”
First, it was the amazing invention of “telephone”, but now I turn to “skype”. Skype is one of the latest and hottest “inn-thing”. It allows us to connect with people all around the globe in terms of chatting, video/voice chatting and even calling and texting phones through our own computers at home. It is the form and the means of communication, which proves the escalation of internet and its functions in our lives. This defines and accentuates our definition of “techonology”. We’ve become so innovative, that we can conquer any means of communication anywhere in the globe within minutes. It’s amazing, what changes technology has brought in our lives.
Other amazing features of the internet not only allow us to connect with people all around the globe but some other features also allow us to research, shop, play games, gamble,chat, podcast links, watch video’s and listen to music and even to create blogs posting out thoughts.
Paying certain attention to podcast links, they allow us to discover and keep up to date with the newest developments in the world. There’s so many features to it, its fascinating. This is a link which’ll allow you to see various features of the podcast and videos and links provided by it: http://video.podcast.com/show/32351/A-Dan-Amongst-Dans/

Hi Mehwish,
ReplyDeleteSo you like a cosmopolitan viewpoint - that the Internet necessarily will lead to greater democracy and greater properity for everyone everywhere? How would you respond to empirical evidence to the contrary (such as the digital divide) or to theoretical attacks on this position (such as the video in yesterday's lecture about the problem of too much choice)?
