Nowadays that information is at the fingertips of so many people, it's hard to believe that it's still not accessible to everyone. There is still a significant large groups of people who don't have access to the Internet, or to other information technologies, with all the benefits that come with having such an access.
We still have some way to go before we can say we have a 100% coverage, but as a whole we are getting closer.
There some power groups that fear that everyone has access to modern communication technologies for various reasons. Still, we need to have everyone aboard, if we want want to truly change things. We need to give everyone access to participate at least on the subjects that are interest each individual at any time.
Those who fear universal access to modern the modern technologies aren't just government, some corporations and politicians don't have people freely exchanging information and views about them. Not only because of profits, but they don't want to lose the power and control over our lives they have built over time. If people become aware of their dealing, and get the power to do something about it, they stand to lose more than just money.
Nothing give more power than knowledge, and the ability to share it. As such, governments and corporations want to keep people on the dark. At the same time, it's easier then ever to spread knowledge among the people.
People can organize themselves in a practical way, we don't depend anymore on centralized bodies to give us a picture of whats going around us. The people can choose where to go to get news, and have more sources to decide and make up their mind about things. The truth is out there, still it requires some effort to get to it.
Now more than ever, power is coming to the hands of the people to be used by the people. Things are going to change, it has become a question of when, not of if its going to happen.
