I want to talk to the world and I want to listen
I've talked about the revolutionary potential that is now at out fingertips: The new ability to communicate with people from all over the world in the most diverse and experiential ways ever. I've seen videos by youth in Baghdad, my friend skypes (VOip with video) with people in Thailand, my peers in Brazil are watching my video on youtube and responding with their own videos. The obvious realization is that communication is possible. Now what? How do we maximize the benefits? How do we sift through the nonsense. What is it important for us to share and after doing so, what do we do?
I want to talk to the world and listen. The world of technological communication is for doing both.
I've said my bit. I've asked my questions.
I'm listening.

you should check out eric s raymond's the cathedral and the bazaar. he talks a lot about what makes distributed networks of people work towards goals. He says "given enough eyes, all bugs are shallow" in reference to programming, but the inverse is also true- given enough eyes, quality comes to the surface. Sites like digg and reddit and most importantly google do a ton for making better pages easily accessible.
Now I'm trying to make music!
