Disinformation technology
Bob Dylan was right when he said, "The times they are a-changin".

The internet is a powerful tool indeed, with millions surfing at an given moment, any form of information can spread out like dust blown away by the wind. But the internet is so widespread and limitless, I wonder how can one control it. Unlike newspapers or television, where one can control and spread propaganda easily by putting the right people and journalists, internet has no form of ownership. No bosses, no jurisdiction, restricting it will be autocratic (to some degree, of course).

And being in the generation when the internet was born, I find it hard to live without it. I'm not saying that the recent events that happened is a bad thing, there are some independent websites which are clearly biased made by stupid racist people, click here for a good example.

Whatever happens, I hope its for the good of the people and country. I leave you with these wise words from Bob Dylan..

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

PS: I hope no one comes knocking on my door!! If you know what I mean....
