Jun 29 2011: Good ideas. I like the basic concept you have going here. The internet is not a right and to a lot of the world, not even a privilege. As the use of internet continues to grow is it easy to see how it can mistakenly be looked at as something that should always be so easily accessed and readily available. This is a concept that should be discussed as a social norm, later in the production of humanity. It is simply too young of an idea to even be considered as a basic human right at the time, because it has only been around for only a few years. Basic human rights such as abolishing slavery, something so critical, has taken thousands and thousands of years to cease, why then should something like the internet be able to cut in the time line and be called so quick to be judged as a basic human right.
