It appears that the media filters we carry in our heads are like computers: they've been forced to get faster in order to keep up with the demands our high-speed society puts on them.
Access to computers and the Internet has become a basic need for education in our society.
The Internet: transforming society and shaping the future through chat.
On the other hand in a society whose communication component is becoming more prominent day by day both as a reality and as an issue it is clear that language assumes a new importance.
I think we have to face the reality that in a society where there is a legitimate threat of terrorism not being able to see one's face not being able to have some sense of communication in that way is for many societies a challenge.
Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.
And I do believe that the way to change a society to uplift people - not just their spirit but to uplift their society and economic base - is through education.
When the fabric of society is so rigid that it cannot change quickly enough adjustments are achieved by social unrest and revolutions.
Normal social behavior requires that we be able to recognize identities in spite of change. Unless we can do so there can be no human society as we know it.
I don't think my principles change. I think the way in which you apply those principles to modern society changes.
