What kind of positive change do you want to create in the world over the next 12 months?:	In the next twelve months I want to get involved in projects that use new technologies to create communication networks, and interactive platforms for social change. Today, the Internet has become a global system of communication that is constantly transforming the way we experience society and ourselves. Traditional broadcast media, such as radio and TV, is constantly converging to the web. The Internet is allowing persons to be intimate from a distance, erasing barriers of time and space. I want to participate in the creation of this massive system of communication that is transforming everybody's life. I have the desire to share stories that need to be heard. I feel like web streaming videos, writing Blogs and audio pod-casting to raise awareness on stories that can change the world. I don't want to remain silent. I want to keep creating and working with people I may have never imagined of reaching out to before the internet. I want to contribute my energy to work with communities where technology and media can be used to transform their realities.
