McDonalds and the Net
McDonalds shared something in common with the Internet in December 2008. Both served more than a billion people last month. (CNET)
Yet another reminder: if you access the internet (and therefore are reading this blog), you and I are among the top 20% of the wealthiest people in the world. 4 out of 5 people have less means than you and I have. (Users of broadband are in the top 10% wealthiest global citizens.)
What does this mean? Feel guilty about it? No. Stop using it? Naw.
More will be expected from those who have been given more? Yes.
Access to information, education, power, advantage, luxury, benefit, comfort, priviledge... access to all these things also comes with responsibility, accountability, and some day, judgement.
How well are we using the things we don't deserve but have been given? How well are we sharing? How far out of our way are we going?
