And that's what counts. The read-write web has turned negative liberties into positive liberties. At least for some. I don't think we should ever stop reminding ourselves that while, yes, while we now have a very real opportunity to be heard, there still exists a very real digital divide, in developed countries as much as anywhere else. It's one thing for us to shoot those people's stories and upload them, but it's another to erode that divide and let them do it themselves. That should be the goal, in which case our focus needs to be not only on videoblogging, but in the real world, offline, as well, where the "right to the opportunity" to be heard still isn't actually a right, but a privelage. ------------------------ Yahoo!
