Victory! For Now...



We did it! The US is retaining control of the internet. A forum has been set up for world governments to have their say, which will ease some pressure, but not much. People tend not to like to just say words. They want to have control. Understandable. Having the interent so heavily dominated by the U.S. does make it difficult for those who don't speak English, but this isn't because of our government. It is because the internet grew up here. Of course we influence it heavily. Of course other languages are less common. The only thing stopping these other languages from becoming common on the internet is the fact that people that speak other languages haven't started using it. If the tools are provided, these languages will become common because businesses will find it more profitable to use the internet. As they begin using, they will innovate and discover ways to make it easier to use their language on the internet. We need time, not some international government agency to force it to happen. If world governments provide the freedom for businesses to operate on the internet, the growth will occur and this amazing tool will become the multilateral network they want it to be. Be patient!

Well that's pretty exciting! No world domination for them! Hey, I thought you were doing your homework...oh I see. It's because I'm fat isn't it? Well I can lose weight and you're ugly! Ok, just kidding, you're not ugly, you're very cute, except when your hair is sticking five inches off your head...yeah that's not too cute. Well have a great day and I'll see you later!
