Laurei: Showcase

Just started the Freedom of Communication project.

The premise of the Freedom of Communication project is simple:

Right here, right now in 2009, this is a turning point where the ability to communicate between you and your loved ones is under threat. This is because of the trend increasing geographical distance we have from our family, friends, and business which causes us to rely on digital means (ie. the internet) to communicate with the people that matter most in our worlds – however: Corporations and the governments they lobby seek to control, block, charge-for, and own what would be natural communication between humans – and this is bad news, because communication is something we can’t live without!

With just a little bit of foresight one can see a world where unlike now, people have no choice but to use the internet to communicate, and this spells trouble if the corporate world is allowed anywhere near policy regarding communication.

With just a little bit of foresight one can see a world where controlling communication IS controlling thought.
