Thank you for visiting this site, I would like you to please Help me, petition for FREE LOCAL CALLS here in the united kingdom.
The foundation needs to be laid to allow people to be able to access the internet without the worry of the costs involved.
So why dont they just moderate there internet access, well thats
easier said than done, there are lots of sites out there on the internet, and finding the
correct one can take forever?
Well, if libraries charged you to access there books you wouldt visit them,
well not as often and it would take you longer to find out the information you needed, and
then you would only read the books which you new the information would be in and not even
bother reading any of the others, you would be very choosy in what you read, and were the
source of the information came from.
This surly would give everybody the same information and lead everybody down the same
road.
As an individual Im find it very hard to moderate my Internet access, And feel that
this medium is fast becoming a vital part of life.
I have grown up with technology and have taken part in some huge leaps, see the
internet grow from a underground medium to a commercial one, the internet is one of the
best parts of computing, being able to connect computers world wide, is astounding, and
the applications which have immerged are out of this world, well the internet is going to
grow even stronger, and become better and better, With this in mind I feel that the this
country is being seriously held back in the growth of the internet, especially in the uses
of the technology and finding of new applications for it.
In the united states they have, as standard in mostly every single state FREE LOCAL
CALLS, as all it takes to access the internet is a LOCAL CALL, most of there
computer literate population have access, and are taking advantage of this In the setting
up of new companies and truly dominating the internet, only the otherday I spoke to a 6
year old in the USA, who can type faster than me, and is well ahead of me in internet
technology. this is due to him being online most of his spare time, and he sees it as a
hobby.
the internet is build into there communities now, and they don't really see it as a luxury
but as a necessity, ok the USA made the internet and developed it to its capacity, but its
totally out of there hands now.
Let's get Britain surfing, and allow all to find there talents
& free there full potential using the internet.
WHY?
Let's move Britain into the next century, lets be at the forefront in finding new
applications for the internet.
In the 1950's nobody could ever have ever expected the applications television
would bring, when it was first launched, people didn't really understand the meaning of
it, and couldn't really foresee the new applications it would bring, such as programs,
news, comedy, and many other trades, designing of sets, lighting, special effect, if
however we could have foresee the applications that TV would have brought we could have
lead the world, we could have had Hollywood here, instead of in the USA, lets not make the
same mistake with the internet. Imagine I said to you in the 1950s that one day
there would be a box in your home which you could watch pictures of people from different
countries on, and see how people lived, that a one day a man would land on the moon and
you would be able to watch this in your own home, that news would be delivered to you real
time, live from a country far far away from us I believe (no it's true) that the internet,
will take over TV, TV will become one of it's many applications, along with new and more
wonderful things. Let's try to think of the applications that the internet will bring, the
biggest in my opinion is going to be the communications on a world wide scale, being able
to talk to people, and buy things on a truly global stage. new products, which you could
never imagine will be sold world wide? Well we now about the internet and how it works so
IM not really going to go into that, I would like to try and foresee were the internet
will lead, like what new application which will be created. Imagine being able to speak to
people without the need to worry about censorship, or being controlled by what you say,
well this is going to have the most impact in the scientific communities, they will be
able to communicate with like minded people who specialise in there own field, but are
working on completely different aspects, imagine they were to come together and merge
there knowledge, this will excel the rate at which there research evolves and yes it will
evolve at an astounding rate. The computer industry is probably one of the most fast
moving industries on the planet, and by far the most profitable, but this will all change,
we can only go so far with the technology, it's what we do with it, that will astound us,
being able to tap into new fields not yet defined by any of are knowledge. Let's not be
scared of the internet, let's embrace it, and allow it to release us as individuals. It's
here and it's going to run our lives, let's get it to run to are advantage!
