This week, I have an account on twitter! Now people can follow me all day long. In the class discussion, we reckoned the role that social networking webs play in the Iranian election. The class mentioned that, the traditional journalism is influenced now by the third generation information gadgets. Now it is easy for any one to broadcast at any corners on the globe. Cell phones and camera can report where the traditional journalist can't go.
We also exchanged our thoughts on the revolution in WLAN and IPv6. It was clear that IPv6 will make the use of the internet easy and cheap around the world. Some people gave the example of China and Japan that are changing networking in order to respond to the exponential demands of the internet. The reflection that catches my attention was the impossibility of the developing nation to adopt this new avenue of the IPv6. These countries, can not afford the high cost related to this infrastructure. While developed countries are done with the IPv4, the third countries still on the first generation. It will be hard for them to compete with the periphery. The strong will always be the stronger.

Yes,
ReplyDeleteDeveloping countries have taken advantage of wireless cell technologies due to the high cost of the wired infrastructure. I suspect that they can take advantage of IPv6 and the new equipment which supports it!
