IT and You :: Importance of the Internet
“I think most probably that this [internet] technology will be helpful,
to get information easily. In that way it will make clear what is truth,
what is reality and what is false propaganda.
I think that provided each individual uses their own intelligence
or mind to investigate further, this technology should be very useful.”
— His Holiness the Dalai Lama (From a BBC forum held 23 feb 2000)
“The Internet is now our primary marketplace for
ideas. News announcements and debates that generations
ago took place on the village commons are now taking
place on the Internet. Because of this new technology,
it is becoming increasingly difficult for opponents of
any idea to stop or limit the spread of that idea.
On the internet all voices are equal.”
— Gregory Rickmar
