Yes, Internet is a human right
After reading an article in the Swedish newspaper DN about Eu´s coming proposal to restrict the access to the Internet in the future, I burst. I think it´s wrong to restrict internet and surrender to the lobbyists in Brussels.
Jörgen Samuelsson says in the interview that “Internet is not a human right, not as shelter over your head”
People have always been encouraged to study and it has always been said that learning is important. Before Internet we had to do everything by hand and a lot of our daily energy was spent on getting to places physically and act. We were not close to be as effective as we are now, some of us might overreact and work everywhere but the greatest thing is the freedom that it has given us by not forcing us to be in one specific place to work, no, we are able to work from anywhere. Why should someone make money of that when it´s free nowadays?
Today countries like Gambia, Uganda, Malaysia, Thailand and China have more advanced IT-infrastructure, than we do. I mean, come on, Gambia! In Gambia you´re able to pay salaries by their phones. They have more secure bank systems than we do. Why? They don´t have computers that in the core, they don´t work by 50-60´s management systems. No, they do it modern.
How do/did these countries get developed so quickly?
They have great access to information right from where they are. They don´t have move anywhere to study actually, they can stay at home, read courses over the Internet, they get educated, they solve their domestic problems, they start helping others.
Let´s just think of what great amount of skills there are unused and unable to develop in this world and let us then think of what possibilities the free access of knowledge can give.
The Internet can bring people knowledge, and when they need the information they don´t have, they have Internet.
Knowledge is not a product for some few people that are privileged. Knowledge is a human right.
So, Jörgen Samuelsson I don´t know which telecom-company that´s paying you for beeing anti-democratic but I´m shore that you´ve had your 15 minutes now.
By the way, I´ve heard that CIA owns 5% of google, facebook, myspace and so on...that´s control, cause it means they have the right to read all data accessible through those companies systems. And that´s frightening.
