In short: of course they can!
Life is based on the hope that one person can influence the rest of the world. That through our contributions, we can survive death and live on in the history books. Our current web culture and technology has made this dream more accessible. From the stay-at-home Mom to the scared-to-leave-my-garage Gamers, technology allows us to spread our ideas, our fears, and our passions with other like-minded (and sometimes, not) people.
Debate? A heated argument in some chat thread? That's OK. Disagreement is what makes democracy great! People with philosophical differences can coexist simply because they respect the process. They don't have to like each other -- that' s a Washington myth! But they have to be willing to work together. To compromise. That's how politicians can make a difference. Now, back to you.
Don't sell yourself short. You may not have a vote in congress, but with the click of a mouse, you can share what you're reading, you can share your ideas, and your vision of the future with the ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD. Who knows who could be out there reading your blog, or your recommendation? They could be in a better position today, right here and now, to finance your dream into reality.
Do you believe in global warming, and thinking we need to do everything in our power to ensure that this planet is still here for future generations?
Share it!
Do you believe new technology and new ideas drive social consciousness?
Share it!
Do you believe in NRGLab?
You should!
You never know who could be reading. So go ahead - share the next thing you read that truly inspires you. Stay informed. Stay hungry. Never stop looking for inspiration because it's out there, waiting to be uncovered.
shared this! you definitely put me in the creative mood to paint.
ReplyDeleteI think you make a good point about continuing to read. My kids never read, in fact the only things they do read are articles they find on Reddit. Anyway, I had a debate with them the other day about the warrants of sitting down with an actual book versus jumping from website to website randomly. My kids don't really learn facts anymore. But my son did bring up a good point. Things like google, and stumbleupon, encourage kids to keep asking questions. Sure, they might not be able to memorized those facts for very long, but I'd rather my kids keep expanding their minds. Asking questions, like you point out.
