The Internet - The first Worldwide Tool of Unification ("The End of History")

" ... Now I give you something that few think about: What do you think the Internet is all about, historically? Citizens of all the countries on Earth can talk to one another without electronic borders. The young people of those nations can all see each other, talk to each other, and express opinions. No matter what the country does to suppress it, they're doing it anyway. They are putting together a network of consciousness, of oneness, a multicultural consciousness. It's here to stay. It's part of the new energy. The young people know it and are leading the way.... "

" ... I gave you a prophecy more than 10 years ago. I told you there would come a day when everyone could talk to everyone and, therefore, there could be no conspiracy. For conspiracy depends on separation and secrecy - something hiding in the dark that only a few know about. Seen the news lately? What is happening? Could it be that there is a new paradigm happening that seems to go against history?... " Read More …. "The End of History"- Nov 20, 2010 (Kryon channelled by Lee Carroll)

“…5 - Integrity That May Surprise…

Have you seen innovation and invention in the past decade that required thinking out of the box of an old reality? Indeed, you have. I can't tell you what's coming, because you haven't thought of it yet! But the potentials of it are looming large. Let me give you an example, Let us say that 20 years ago, you predicted that there would be something called the Internet on a device you don't really have yet using technology that you can't imagine. You will have full libraries, buildings filled with books, in your hand - a worldwide encyclopedia of everything knowable, with the ability to look it up instantly! Not only that, but that look-up service isn't going to cost a penny! You can call friends and see them on a video screen, and it won't cost a penny! No matter how long you use this service and to what depth you use it, the service itself will be free.

Now, anyone listening to you back then would perhaps have said, "Even if we can believe the technological part, which we think is impossible, everything costs something. There has to be a charge for it! Otherwise, how would they stay in business?" The answer is this: With new invention comes new paradigms of business. You don't know what you don't know, so don't decide in advance what you think is coming based on an old energy world. ..."

China's state media embraces microblogs to guide public discourse

China's state media outlets have taken control of public discourse in the country by carving out a dominating presence on popular Chinese microblogs.

According to the 2013 Report on Development of New Media in China produced by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, national-level state media such as the Communist Party mouthpiece People's Daily, China's official Xinhua news agency and national broadcaster CCTV have all embraced the Twitter-like microblogs such as Sina Weibo, which has more than 500 million registered users as at the end of last year.

Netizens have, in return, also embraced the opportunity to engage in discussions on these microblogs. The People's Daily official microblog, for example, registered 15.56 billion visits in the second half of 2012 alone, with total page views reaching nearly 74 billion and the total amount of time spent on the site exceeding 1.5 billion hours.

While microblogs are still behind search engines, internet videos, online shopping and traditional blogs in terms of generating traffic, their power to drive public discourse has far exceeded that of community forums, social media and mainstream media websites.

According to the report, as at the end of 2012 there were more than 110,000 media-related microblog accounts on Sina Weibo, with major media outlets such as the People's Daily, Xinhua, CCTV and China National Radio each possessing several microblog pages focusing on different topics ranging from breaking news to society and charity. The CCTV News microblog alone has more than six million fans.

Analysts say the increased use of microblogs by Chinese state media can significantly boost its power to guide public discourse while also greatly minimizing its former weaknesses, namely slow reaction time and incorrect statements.

On the other hand, microblogs have also become the main channel for online rumors in China. There were 617 reported rumors in China in 2012, one third of which were spread primarily through microblogs, the report said.

The statistics show that political rumors accounted for 16.1% of all tabulated rumors, followed by rumors about people's livelihoods (11.3%) and financial rumors (11%).
