Technology puts Myanmar protests in international eye

BANGKOK (AFP) - Myanmar’s swelling protests are in the global
spotlight with the help of hi-tech gadgets in the era of YouTube
-- a stark contrast to the 1988 uprising in the pre-Internet age.

”The technology is making a huge difference. Now everyone in the world can know what is happening in Burma via the Internet,”

”It is a reality of globalization. Whether the junta likes it or not, the government cannot isolate itself from the international community”

”Young people know how to get around Internet controls. Not just from Yangon, we received pictures and video clips from Mandalay,”

”In 1988, we did not have the Internet or even phones to get our message out of Burma. Nobody in the international community knew about the 1988 uprising. But the world knows about the current protests.
It’s just amazing,”

”Students and even monks are using mobile phones and digital cameras. Everyone can send us pictures. In a way, the Internet makes everybody equal,”

The military government attempts to block almost every website that carries news or information about the Southeast Asian country, and
even bars access to web-based email.

The Internet really changes the way we explore this world. When the world is flatten by technology, people get the better ideas to realize what’s going on around the global village.
