It has been a year since my last post. Obviously I haven’t been
silent for a year. The proliferation of social media, journaling apps, text
messaging and other electronic media have made it possible to communicate and
document at nearly the speed of thought thereby making it difficult to slow
down for the likes of written communication and blogs. That fact is indicative
of one of the most tremendous improvements in human history. The common man can
etch his story on the wall of a cave for anyone in the world to see and almost
everyone can see it for the first time ever. In my opinion the ability to
document at the rate and volume we enjoy today should be a “freedom multiplier.”
From the stand point of a democratic people, when everyone can hear and be
heard, the net result should be the most free world in human history.
Is it?
