Media impartiality no.1

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 02:50:04 +0100

Every time I see something amiss on the internet, I'm going to try and post it. It's an experiment to see if my suspicions are true. I have no side, I'm just curious.

China suffers first defeat at WTO
BBC

This story tells all about Chinese wrongs against the US, EU and Canada, but gives only a hint that China has counter-claimed.

Surely China's claim warrants the same amount of attention?
What would happen if the WTO gave a warning to the US?
Aren't subsidies anti-trade and anti-competitive?

Them

We are in a system which enriches a small minority, but enslaves a willing majority. We all immerse ourselves with the perks - sports, gadgets, TV, films, celebrity-watching - and happily ignore atrocities that happen across the globe. Why do we ignore them? Because we don't really know about them. They are unpalatable to mainstream audiences, so we don't see them.

One Laptop Per Child

I love this idea. The laptop itself has a wonderful-sounding operating system that relies on intuition, and gives us a completely different metaphor for saving your work - far removed from filing cabinets. It's based on a blog-style system which automatically stores everything, each day, and allows you to tag each document for multi-layered searching. Why didn't Windows / OSX think of that?

I particularly like long term effect of a scheme like this. Empowering children to learn for themselves, through any medium, can only be a good thing. When women in 3rd world countries get a proper education they are more likely to have less children, and to have them later in life - vital to help stabilise world population. Added to that is the prospect of many more budding entrepreneurs starting up new economies. That will eventually allow countries to drag themselves out of perpetual debt and aid.

Technology like this must be embraced and encouraged.

Awakening.

I was staring at the sky when it came to me. I jumped, the earth bounced back, like some giant trampoline. For a short time I was captain of Earth. I was part of a giant cosmic game of snooker. I peered across the horizon and stared at the ominous rising of our star, and it dawned on me that it was us moving, not it... where are we going?

and it happened...

It's all about circles.
