The internet could very well be an example of technology leaping way ahead of politics. It's the new atomic bomb imho. Looks like a cold war brewing over control of the internet.
I believe the days of free communication are over. Think about how unsecured the internet is, unless you have a closed loop system. Soon as you use it, it starts gathering information about you. Who the hell wants that?
I'm all in favor of the exchange of ideas, but imho the internet is not the best way to communicate between countries, some of which may be at war, even a cold one. A war the magnitude of WWII would see an end to the internet as we know it. We would have to become HAM radio operators and learn Morse Code to say "Hi" to each other. Something I think about and don't want to happen. (But it would be kinda neat tapping out coms on a key.)
I don't know. I appreciate this game and the good people here that play it. I have learned some things here, and had a splended time reading the posts. This is the best place to hear diverse opinions among some smart cookies. I'll say that. This board is the only one I would ever post on, because we all have one thing in common. We play AH, which is a martial art of sorts, though that may seem a stretch compared to traditional art. It still involves work and learning. There is value in it from an entertainment standpoint. It is a service to humanity.
