Wikileaks

Wikileaks – well, I don’t generally agree with it. If it is meant for people to be warned about “bad” people then there might be some merit in it. The reality though is that we can do nothing about it, the majority of people are not can realize the truth even though it’s pretty much a case of “I told you so”. Also the leaks seem to be fairly broad, silly at times and the potential for unnecessary further harm.

I suppose that leads me to express concern of the bad or negative side of technology.. well with fb, twitter and the many other instant messaging. And all these platforms talk to each other, so put something on fb and that becomes a tweet and not forgetting the MSN users also being kept in the loop.

One can read about what someone had for breakfast .. to aaaaahhhh … crime.. so people can tweet and fb, etc about crimes these days … and it seems all pretty normal … so not only are these platforms anti-social in the first instance since people (and especially the very young) don’t know how to communicate face to face .. is this what we want? But the things that are made public is in itself anti-social.

Yes, there is much good in technology … but it has many dangers.. and as with saying safe driving, safe flight, etc … its safe surfing.

Say (O Muslims), "We believe in Allâh and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ismâ'il (Ishmael), Ishâq (Isaac), Ya'qûb (Jacob), and to Al-Asbât [the offspring twelve sons of Ya'qûb (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Mûsa (Moses) and Isâ (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islâm)."
