Okay Sharae...I know it's not the easiest article and a bit of a challenge. Why don't you check out the second part of the question. Find an intersting article you can suggest for us. Elizabeth, you're right, they are talking about how things like twitter and facebook are affecting Iranians and what others think of Iran. It's hard for people in the computer age to have privacy so imagine how hard it is for a country to maintain privacy and isolation!

Also people do pornagry over there, and we no some people who do here to. This was the only part i really understood from the video.

i did not understand this fully so i asked my dad to explain it and& the whole thing is saying that the internet has become a way to spread propaganda for the government and& special interest groups. Anything can be said or blogged about on it unlike television and radio stations you cant say as much, but on the internet you can. So basically its saying the internet can be used as a worldwide tool of propaganda.

I think the guy is saying that the government is killing democracy. I think he is also saying that the government is trying to blame us for what they are doing. We are basicly the ginna pigs.

i didnt read get what he was saying but after reading the article i got it more. He is basically talkin about how the people in Iran are very much like us, they like to go on the websites that allow to to put up pictures and videos and talk more about yourself. however he is trying to put out there the fact that twitter, facebook, and youtube has a big effect on us.

Lisa, I dont know what the article is talking about. All I think I understood is that the internet is affecting the world today? Such as twitter, facebook, myspace etc. The other part i understood is that Iran is using the internet aswell.

I Agree W| Elizabeth They Are Just Like Us In Many Ways .. Iraq Has A Different Side To Them That No One Knows About .. I Watched A Video Sometime In November About The Otherside Of Iraq .. They Eat Same Foods We Eat .. Listen To The Smae Music We Listen To etc., I Just Hope Other People Get A Chance To See What I Saw .!
