I’m not sure if I can eloquently say this, but has anyone noticed that the internet is finally showing America’s genuine concern with the welfare of other countries? And that the invention of social media has finally given the people the ability to speak to the rest of the world and show real support?
Of course, I’m talking about the recent Iran Elections. America has always relied on traditional media and the government to tell us what’s going on in the rest of the world. We always knew that it was filtered and biased but we now have the proof and can make our own decisions as to what’s important through the internet and things like Twitter (http://bit.ly/twitiran) and YouTube (http://bit.ly/YTiran). And not only that but we can communicate to the world our feelings and concern instead of looking like self-involved jerks. It’s amazing the outpouring of true concern and sympathy that has happened because of it.
So, do you think subsequently that America might also finally start looking better to the world now that the people can speak for themselves? I am excited to see what happens…
Please tell me what you think.
