Information Technology Issue

According to Twist in her article “Controversy blights UN net summit,” The World Summit on the Information Society was held, and more than 170 countries gathered in Tunis. The topic was about the technology between rich and poor countries. It is said that the net should advance information and communication technologies in poorer countries. Also, they had a dispute. Some countries said that we should have someone who manages and controls the net. However, the article and other countries said that the information technology should be created and shared freely. There are three important benefits for having the net technology free; the freedom of expression, the freedom of sharing information, and the good economy.


First, people should express themselves freely through the net. Everyone has the rights of free expression. So, what we want to write and express should be written and expressed freely. If we cannot express ourselves on the net, it would be boring. We can get and learn a lot of information and opinions from others because we have different and good expressions. So, expressing our opinions should be free on the net.


Second, we should get a lot of information by sharing the technology. The technology lets us get a lot of information from other countries rapidly. The net technology becomes a bridge among countries. Also, we can know about each other more and more. For example, poor countries may learn good ways of business and life from rich countries through the net. Thus, poor countries may improve the life quality by sharing a lot of information. So, sharing information should be free for everyone.


Lastly, we can get a better economy through the net. Actually, a large amount of money is moving from some countries to others through the net today. The net technology is the easiest way to make contact between some countries and others. The net technology passes across the border move easily and sooner. Also, we don’t care about the time that we contact with other countries. Then, the cost of contact with other countries is lower than using telephone and letters. We should have the net technology free for a better economy. 


Consequently, the technology has big benefits for us. The technology gives us a lot of information from others and other countries. We can get more information through the net. We can build the relationship among companies or countries. Also, it gives us better lives. It helps us get a better life. As a result, someone who manages the net should not control the net technology. We should be able to use the net technology freely.
