I think that in countries where there is a lack of wealth and the Internet costs are so high, it is the buyers who have money. These people will be the ones with access to the Internet anyway. I think it is important then, to give the people who want to sell their goods on a global market the option to do so. This would not only allow them to have more buyers, but also give them the start they need to purchase the Internet and become buyers themselves. Lately I have noticed more commercials for Worldstock.com and have been nothing short of impressed. The premise is that they take products from around the world and sell them online. These are goods that supposedly have never been able to be sold before and are now able too through this website. What I think is interesting about this website is that not only are these venders are able to sell their products world wide for the first time, but we are also now able to buy them. I can only accredit this to the Internet and I wish there were more outlets like these. However, I do think that the media controls in other countries that enable people to not have the Internet is a problem of a bigger problem. I deffinatly agree that they need the Internet as a source of information, but not necessarily to buy more stuff. They have to know what they need to begin to move forward in what they are purchasing. I have thought about this much myself.

We, as a world, are constantly "moving forward"..."jumping higher"..."accessing faster"...."new and improved." We should truly not say we have "mastered it all" until we, as a world, can all do these things. SO TRUE! I had not put those thoughts together in that exact light before.

We should truly not say we have “mastered it all” until we, as a world, can all do these things.
