Internet: government of the people!
If “government” means the “act of exercising authority,” then I must report that I believe my official government may not be my official government.
Wikipedia has this definition:
“A government (from the Greek kubernites - steersman, governor, pilot, or rudder) is an organization that has the power to make and enforce laws for a certain territory. There are several definitions on what exactly constitutes a government. In its broadest sense, “govern” means the power to administrate, whether over an area of land, a set group of people, or an association.”
If this is really what government is – a body of influence, whose rules and laws I form, obey and own – my government is The Internet.
To The Internet we listen, to The Internet we ask our question, to The Internet we turn for converge in our human divergence. The Internet is the government of the commons, which has leveled social and class and racial and other barriers like no other power in the history of humankind.
I think for the first time in history, humans across the globe have created a government that is truly a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

your sure?
internet is only the medium…it is neither the message nor the messenger
what thrives here is the open and accessible communication between far-flung human beings
Excellent question. I was about to answer it here, but it deserves a separate post. As always, you have the knack of provoking thoughtfulness.

How you said it?
In goverment you have absolute powers in some area or fields but here in internet you only have oppurtunity not authority to communocate what you want to say. Also you are not free to tell all what you want to as you will encountered the aftereffects in real world.

In 2005, I saw there was more potential to my life's project than I could realize through my job. I decided to leave a job and search for my answers in the wide world. I have seen much since.
Much of my work has been created & shared off-line in the years since. During my journeys, I haven't done justice to NEXT> the blog, nor is it doing justice to me right now as it feature a lot of old work. Most of my contemporary work is shared on the omnipresent Facebook.
So what to do? Well, I am updating the whole site as of now. By the end of November, 2008, nextbyramla.com should reflect me (and my projects) more adequately. I shall have also figured out how to keep you in the loop!
