			*********

			Joshywonder, thanks for your late post since I had no idea the role that Facebook postings can play in courts.

			Laurence Girard, if we think about it, the internet probably can affect every part of lives these days, depending on how connected we are (my grandparents are not connected at all). Your comment on the ease of access to medical info online reminded me of a book written by a doctor just a few years ago in which he pointed out that patients may even bring up recent research knowledge that doctors themselves haven't read up on. On the other hand, the author wrote that the problem was that patients think they understand their medical problems after reading a few articles, leading them to be less accepting of the doctor's advice. HIs main critique was that there is a reason why doctors spend years in medical school, because problems are usually much more complex as they are interrelated with the different systems of the body.

			I agree with you though, the ability to connect with people all over the world so easily and key: speedily, must be the greatest achievement of the internet.

	I know it is a little late now, but I just thought I would add to the discussion of using facebook postings in court. I occasionally do insurance defence work and it is standard practice that for every single personal injury law suit that I defend, I ask for the plaintiffs facebook account to verify if their complaints match up with their facebook photographs and postings. Often it is the facebook profile that kill the claim, because their claims of whiplash are not verified by their photographs of partying.

			This is Laurence Girard. Here are the most significant changes that have developed with the Internet:

			1. In the past, we had to speak to our local doctor to get information about health, but now we have access to top medical journals from the comfort of our own home. There are even services that allow us to consult with a physician via video chat such as Teladoc. I believe that around 80% of Americans have searched for health information online in the past year.

			2. Unlike 10 or 20 years ago, we can now purchase almost every imaginable product and a global market place has developed online. Sites like Alibaba allow us to even connect with farmers in the developing world. This was not possible 10 or 20 years ago. I have even Skyped with Brazil nut farmers in Peru via such services.

			All in all, I think the Internet is going to transform healthcare while creating a global market place for goods that did not exist several decades ago.

	2) Although there are many negative aspects to the internet world, it is also innovative and "helpful" in terms of gathering data from all the world. What I mean by this is that, programs now have the innovation of millions of users around the world, and can be accessed within seconds. It saves costs, and time: E-commerce, E-mail. The exposure to information is limitless.		2) Although there are many negative aspects to the internet world, it is also innovative and "helpful" in terms of gathering data from all the world.

			- An exponent of what I think is most innovative about the rise of the internet is the idea of communication and how it has evolved dramatically. News and information are able to travel across the globe to anyone, and in the matter of seconds.

			Books can be filled just trying to describe the effects of digital technologies on human civilization. But I think one of the most important effects, if not revolutions, caused by the spread of digital technologies is giving people an alternative platform of speech, and consequently, an alternative way of spreading information. It has become infinitely easier for anyone to express their opinions, thoughts, and/or artistic expressions to a broad public. Significantly, by being able to access the internet, those who would otherwise have been too timid to speak out in physical life have been able to express themselves, even through different personas or anonymously. These people consist not only of activists who have been repressed, but also of children who may have not found their niche in school.

			In a way, the speech rights of people have been greatly empowered and democratized - in the sense that not just the elites, but the masses have been given easy access to "publish" their thoughts. Criticisms (deserved or not) are also easily voiced and leaked and spread like wildfires. Consequently, governments have been forced to be more receptive, or at least appear to be (which is still an improvement), to the common person.

			I am currently writing from within the Great Firewall of China. While it's true that the internet controls the government has implemented have been very detrimental to internet browsing freedom, people haven been able to affect change thanks to digital technologies. The Central Government has been persuaded to bring to justice several corrupt officials thanks to online fury. These may not be significant in the big picture of politics, but the fact that the common people have a chance to affect change besides physically risking their lives through rallies is a gigantic improvement. --[[User:Muromi\|Muromi]] 15:59, 5 February 2013 (EST)
