Technology made by the people for the people...

One of the biggest mistakes anyone can make, is to think that technology will solve their problems.

Any technology by itself won't solve any problem, since it's just a tool built to help solve an specific problem. Yes, as any tool it can be adapted to solve more than the problem it was originally built for, but that doesn't mean that we can relay on it to save humanity. People using technology will save humanity, or at least give it a fighting chance to see a tomorrow.

It's easy to forget that people are the ones that will lead other to a better tomorrow, and that technology will be forever changing and adapting to the needs of the people. And as time goes on, every new technology is going to be able to be ever more democratized.

We live at the time when people are able to be a part of new technologies, or at least of movements that make use of these new technologies, in a way that its hard to imagine in other time period. As such, its harder for elites keep the people out from these new technologies, much less keeping them from sharing them among themselves in any meaningful way.

As such, the information that is contained by the new technologies is harder to control or censor. And with more individuals being better educated, the people will have a better guide to make the best use of both the new technologies and the information contained in them.

Now more than ever, social revolution is at our hands. Most importantly, the revolution won't necesesary mean bloodshed. Even if said revolution doesn't come easy, it doesn't mean that blood will have to be sacrified for said revolution to come.

It seeems that revolution will come without much fanfare.
