About The Manifesto For A Beneficial Internet

When the bright and warm beam of the internet from the distant horizon touched us, and some birds sang their welcome song we expected a big change in the global societies. The smell of the past was blown away from the odor of a fresh wind. We knew that something revolutionary was happening. This was the possibility to turn communication up side down. Where you had a few sources of information you could now have many many senders. It was clear that the big problem will be: how would one be able to filter the relevant information from irrelevant information? Up to now the answer has not been given.

• If you publish data in the structure that is forced on you then you support the internet of the few. You do not write a book in filling out a form.
• If you as a company use a given platform then you support the internet of the few.
• If you as a government use the data of those companies then you support the internet of the few.

• We like real face to face communication.
  • We also like electronic communications (in fact we invented it) but that doesn't mean that you need to have access to our correspondance.
• We like the songs of real birds.
  • We also like electronic music (in fact we invented it) but that doesn't mean that you need to know what we listen to.
• We like the taste of real fruits.
  • We also like electronic devices that we have total control of.
• We ogle with real craftsmanship.
  • We also like creative electronic skills to express our freedom so leave us.
• We like to look through clear glass because we like transparancy.
  • But we also value our privacy.
• We like seeing, touching, listening, smelling and sometimes tasting products before we buy them.
  • That doesn't mean that you need to know our location.
