The internet is the most powerful medium for communication we've encountered since the invention of the printing press. The key to this new source of empowerment is its ability to communicate on a global basis. Unlike many other forms of mass communication, access and control are not as limited by finances.
Technology is an extremely integral part of our society.
Historically, minorities and other disadvantaged groups have lacked the knowledge of new technology. It is extremely important that African Americans remain at the forefront of this technology, as it propels its international users into the future. The internet provides people with a tool of education. In addition, through areas of the information superhighway such as the internet, an individual has the power to redefine inaccurate and incomplete images of themselves portrayed to our global community. It's my lifelong objective to assist and promote all African peoples in the utilization of this new empowerment.
