Smartphones have given us the opportunity to really be able to share with others a lot faster, and also to get information just about anything in seconds. In many ways, smartphones are step forward to making our world even smaller.
More than ever, smartphones give people a chance to empower themselves and to do more to make change happen than ever before. Smartphones makes traditional power brokers to keep information to themselves, and lets people to actually get that same information to share it with others as its coming to them. People are no longer dependent on a few sources to get the information they need, or how to make use of it.
We can be selective not only on the information we share, but also with who we share it with. There is less need for a middle man to handle the information we want to share, since we have the platform to do it so without the middle man. Smartphones gives us the such platform with its connectivity with the Internet. As such, we decide what we want to do with the information we come upon.
Censorship is harder to implement, since people can more easily find ways around it. There are multiple ways individuals can now work around restrictions on the flow of information, by using alternate channels. With this ability, we create a world where governments and corporations have to be transparent about they do just because they have no choice.
I'm hopeful that this will help us to create a better world.
