Iranian-Americans are turning to internet sources to find out what going on in Iran. I think that technology is great in the fact that even though there have been attempts to shut the world out of Iran, technology is prevailing and the needed information is going out. This is truly a testament to technology and the power of the internet. I think the internet is a crucial tool now and will continue to be one well into the future. It is also very refreshing to see people around the world becoming more and more active in their countries' affairs, even if they can't be there to witness them in person.

This seems like an era of unpresendented accountabliity. Where information can freely flow across the internet, when a politician makes a crucial error it will become apparent to everyone within minutes. To demand more of each other as national citizens, especially politician, is the central idea. I just hope people have realistic expectations.

Since we have internet all the extremist countries are in global spotlight. Everyone can see what the leaders are causing and how the people react. The internet could help those people unite and fight for a new leader.

I think the Internet is a wonderful thing to have. This is keep you in touch with people around the world. In a time like this I know Aranian-Americans are going crazy worried about their families in Iran. With the internet they can see pictures and read emails. They can watch kids grow through time through pictures without spending money to send them out.
