Though there is a small minority, principally students, who oppose the policies of the Chinese government, many support them. And while people use the Internet for the affairs of their lives that do not have controversial political aspects, the Chinese government is very happy, especially if they use electronic technology to entertain themselves.

But China and other countries like Iran and Burma are trying to strictly control electronic communication when it spawns political movements that menace their existence.

Quinte Question: Quales ha essite le effectos de Internet sur le politica?

Internet sta a causar un revolution in le practica del politica.

Le presidente Obama, pro exemplo, es un addicto al blackberry. Ille e le personas qui travaliava con ille in su campania cresceva e ha vivite con Internet, e pro omne illes il es un medio natural.

Le major parte del personas qui le appoiava in su campania esseva juvenes. Illes poteva adjuvar le a construer un rete social que promoveva le interaction, mobilisation, rapide transmission de information, e transparentia in su practicas politic.

Il anque asseva trans Internet que Obama recipeva le plus grande donationes in omne le historia de campanias politic in le Statos Unite. In vice de demandar moneta del lobbies politic cuje donationes ille refusava, ille lo demandava trans Internet del personas qui le appoiava e recipeva $3.5 milliones de donantes qui le dava usque $200 trans le canales de pagamento de Internet.

In le politica, Internet pote esser un alliato e anque un inimico proque il es impossibile controlar lo, e Internet ha essite le fortia motrice pro diverse movimentos succedite in opposition de governamentos oppressive.

Internet is causing a revolution in the practice of politics.

President Obama, for example, is a blackberry addict. He and the people who worked for him on his campaign grew up with and have lived with the Internet, and for all of them it is a natural medium.

Most of the people who supported him in his campaign were young people. They were able to help him construct a social network that promoted interaction, mobilization, the rapid transmission of information, and transparency in his political practices.

It was also through the Net that Obama received the largest donations in the entire history of political campaigns in the United States. Instead of asking for money from the political lobbies whose donations he refused, he asked for it through the Internet from the people who supported him and received $3.5 million from donors who gave him up to $200 through Internet payment channels.

In politics, Internet can be an ally and also an enemy because it is impossible to control it, and the Net has been the motive force for various successful movements opposing oppressive governments.

Quarte Question: Como ha cambiate nostre vitas le retes social?

Le retes social que ha emergite con le evolution de Internet ha producite un explosion de creativitate e sociabilitate. Illo nos ha permittite communicar nos con alteres con interesses cultural e social identic con le nostres, e illos anque facilita conflictos inter nos e alteres qui ha convictiones social, politic, e religiose que es inimic al nostres.

Internet pote considerar se como un rete de rete de retes social. Le prime applicationes in massa que se disveloppava pro Internet post le emergentia del posta electronic esseva duo listas multo popular inter scientistas e studentes, le prime concernente le fantascientia e le secunde sur le usos possible del marihuana.

Le retes social nunc es utile pro toto, desde le mobilisation politic usque le intercambio de ideas e contacto plus intime inter le culturas del mundo. Iste retes ha augmentate grandemente le potential de communication e de sociabilitate que existe in nostre mundo, que esseva multo difficile de practicar quando omnes viveva in blocos de tempore e spatio in le quales il esseva multo difficile communicar se con altere blocos simile.

---

The social networks that have emerged with the evolution of the Internet have produced an explosion of creativity and sociability. They have allowed us to get in touch with others with cultural and social interests that are identical to our own, and they have also facilitated contacts between us and others who have social, political, and religious convictions that are inimical to our own.

The Intenet can be considered to be a network of social networks. The first mass applications that were developed for the Net after the emergence of e-mail were two very popular lists among scientists and students, the first one concerning science fiction and the second one about the possible uses of marihuana.

Social networks are now useful for everything, from political mobilization to the exchange of ideas and more intimate contact among the cultures of the world. These networks have greatly increased the potential for commication and socializing that exists in our world, which was very difficult to practice when everyone lived in blocks of time and space in which it was very difficult to communicate with other similar blocks.

Tertie Question: Quales es le principal transformationes que le nove technologias del information ha promovite in nostre vita diarie?

Le cosas le plus interessante del transformation technologic non es lo que le va a passer secundo le descriptions de ingenieros, ma lo que le gente face con illo. Lo que passa es que il ha certe technologias que nos permitte facer cosas que nos interessa. (Un exemplo excellente de isto es que le cambios technologic que me ha permitte inaugurar e continuar le publication de “Interlingua multilingue”.)

Un altere exemplo es le communication telephonic mobile, que permitte que on se mantene in communication constante con su familia e su amicos constantemente. Iste technologia permitte contacto constante inter infantes e lor patres e inter travaliatores e le organisationes pro le quales illes travalia.

Illo anque permitte continue communication inter le membros del complexe familias contemporanee, in le quales le mulieres, ultra laborer in travalios commercial, gere le affaires de lor familias e le problemas de cata un de lor membros, le quales es completemente libere in lor mobilitate durante que illes pote haber contacto constante con omne le altere personas de lor familias.

Le communication mobile anque permitte que on travalia sur diverse projectos constante- e simultaneemente sin perder tempore in inactivitate.

Totevia on non sape si eventualmente iste capacitates essera bon o mal pro le societate e su membros, ma illos certemente permitte productivitate augmentate pro illes qui usa iste technologias.

The most interesting things about technological transformation is not what is going to happen according to engineers’ descriptions but what people do with it. What is happening is that there are certain technologies that allow us to do things that interest us. (An excellent example of this is the technological changes that have allowed me to start out and continue publishing “Interlingua multilingue.”)

Another example is mobile telephone communication, which allows a person to stay in constant communication with his or her family and friends. This technology allows for constant contact between children and their parents and between workers and the organizations they work for.

It also allows for continuous communication among the members of complex contemporary families, in which women, besides holding down jobs, manage the affairs of their families and the problems of each one of their members, who are completely free in their mobility while they are able to have constant contact with all the other people in their families.

Mobile communication also allows a person to work on various projects constantly and simultaneously without losing time in inactivity.

It is still now known whether these capabilities will be good or bad for society and its members, but they certainly allow for increased productivity for those who use these technologies.

Secunde Question: Esque nos pote parlar de un revolution digital si il ha un carentia de accesso que totevia existe in multe paises del mundo?

Usque nunc duo tertios del humanitate, mesmo in paises povre, jam se ha conectate a Internet. Isto vole dicer que le lacunas de participation in Internet sta a clauder se. Ben que le lineas terrestre de telephonia per le quales circulava Internet non se ha expandite desde 2002, le explosion del communication sin filos rapidemente sta a unificar omne le mundo in un sol systema de communication.

In 1991 il habeva circa 16 milliones de personas con accesso a Internet per lor telephonos mobile. In iste momento il ha 4,6 billiones de usatores sur un planeta de 6,7 billiones de personas. Le anno proxime il habera centos de milliones de nove usatores.

In alicun paises ric, le gente ha tres o quatro numeros de telephonos mobile, e in le paises povre, sovente un village ha un sol telephono mobile pro omne le village. E in paises plus affluente, un familia ha plus que un telephono mobile. Totevia tamen le brecha digital existe in terminos de accesso individual, ma illo es multo relative e sta a disapparer rapidemente.

---

Up to now two-thirds of humanity, even in poor countries, have already been connected to the Internet. This means that the participation gaps in the Internet are closing. Though telephone land lines through which the Internet circulated have not been expanded since 2002, the explosion of wireless communication is rapidly unifying the entire world in a single system of communication.

In 1991 there were around 16 million people with access to the Internet through mobile phones. At this moment there are 4.6 billion users on the planet out of 6.7 billion people. Next year there will be hundreds of millions of new users.

In some rich countries, people have three or four mobile telephone numbers, and in poor countries a village often has a single mobile telephone for the entire village. In wealthier countries, a family has more than one mobile phone. Still, however, the digital gap exists in terms of individual access, but it is quite relative and is starting to rapidly disappear.

Lo que characterisa iste nove epocha es que nos ha un systema technologic que cambia revolutionariemente le formas de processamento de information e communication e transforma nostre forma de viver e nostre manieras de communicar inter nos.

Le revolution digital ha essite causate per le convergentia de transformationes profunde in le microelectronica e in le telecommunicationes a causa del programmas informatic e systemas de computatores que controla e gere le systema.

Le revolution comenciava in le annos septanta, e actualmente nos non pote imaginar le mundo contemporanee sin le integration de iste nove technolgias, que comenciava ante quasi cinquanta annos e que se disveloppa continuemente con effectos extraordinarios.

Nonobstante il esseva in le annos novanta quando un serie de disveloppamentos technologic como le World Wide Web e le deregulation e le privatisation de Internet permitteva un accesso a milles de milliones de personas. In 1996 il habeva unes 40 milliones de personas qui habeva accesso a Internet. Nunc 1,5 billiones se ha integrate a in iste systema de telecommunicationes mundial.

Information and knowledge have been the central elements of all historically known societies. What characterizes this new epoch is that we have a technological system that is making a revolutionary change in the ways of processing information and communication and is transforming our way of living and our ways of communicating among ourselves.

The digital revolution has been caused by the convergence of profound transformations in microelectronics and in telecommunications because of the computer programs and systems of computers that control and manage the system.

The revolution started in the 1970s, and now we cannot imagine the contemporary world without the integration of these new technologies, which started almost fifty years ago and which are developing continuously with extraordinary effects.

Nevertheless, it was in the 1990s when a series of technological developments like the World Wide Web and the deregulation and the privatization of the Internet allowed access to billions of people. In 1996 there were about 40 million people who had access to the Internet. Now 1.5 billion have joined this system of world-wide telecommunications.
