Milestone 4-The Mystery of History

I have named this digital nugget loosely on the fact that we are more clueless as we go about this digital journey. Again, this class never ceases to amaze me with the knowledge of the internet. With that being said on with the show... History in my humble opinion is cyclical. We are doomed to repeat it. The internet, eRulemaking, eDemocracy, and the like are reinventions of the wheel: Just happens to have more bells and whistles. We as a society are completely ecstatic about the potential of being able to express our concerns and issues automatically via email and chat rooms. Reviewing chapters like Witschge and Samuel convey the point. We have gotten into analyzing the issues attached to the world transparent and have come up with a complete universe solely centered on this. Of course that's nothing new but this technology should not be squandered among the intellectual elite. I think the purpose of the internet was to bring people together not create a hierarchy of those who know how and those who get mad at those who know how.
