Big Sister is the average persons weapon against Big Brother

::::::::

Orwell was right on about "Big Brother" but he couldn't have foreseen "Big Sister".  So what I have noticed over that past few years is that social networking sites like twitter, facebook, youtube, myspace,etc. have effectively given the average person a mechanism to fight back against "Big Brother".  The situation in Iran with Neda is the perfect example. So henceforth I propose we collectively call these sites "Big Sister" and everyone should know that "Big Sister" is a good thing! And that is my 2 cents today

I first started playing with computers in 1977 after being placed in the 'gifted program' at school due to scoring a 154 on my IQ test(my mom told me to never take another IQ test again and I haven't...so good thinking mom!). I am a part-time (more...)
