Soon everyone will have a computer or access to one. It s the two-way communication that makes the Internet the most interesting social activist device ever invented. This two-way aspect can t be done with a poster stapled to a telephone pole. Activism has its seedy side and there is nothing more humiliating than being bamboozled into taking part in an event that has a hidden agenda. There is nothing worse than being a dupe.
Information exchange minimizes such possibilities.
Questioning authority is par for the course on the Internet. It doesn t take a genius to see the potential for a radical change in the way politics as usual will change over the next decade and into the 21st century because of this new information medium called the Internet. It does take talent, though, to come up with a predicting book and a how-to Guide such as this one. I was frankly impressed when David told me about this project. It s such an obvious book to write.
