option "c" -- cyberspace

[Carl Remick]

Re Alex's:  "Noam Chomsky really debunks these off-the-shelf
techno-utopias when he points out that the majority of people in this
world don't even have
access to a telephone, much less personal computers and the Internet."

Point taken -- I don't want want to sound like some effing IBM ad!  I'm
simply impressed at what the WWW has done *already* to bring otherwise
disparate people together despite those limitations.

Re Alex's:  "I think specific programs for liberation are
kind of silly, especially ones that concentrate on technology as the
primary liberating force."

Jacques Ellul is another of my intellectual heroes, so I'm not normally
a fan of technological advance per se.  But I must say, I see liberating
potential in the Web that I see in no other high-tech tool.
