Review:
The article “Is the Internet a US invention? – an economic and technological history of computer networking” is generally about the role the US have played and still play in the development of the Internet and other related technological inventions. The question is why other nations, including several that made important inventive contributions to the Internet, not play a larger role in its development. ... What does it say about the way the Internet has an impact on citizenship? ... The general question in the article, about why other nations did not play a larger role in the development of the Internet, can be seen as part of the question about human rights. ...
With the commercialisation of the Internet, as described in paragraph 2. ... Individuals have the right to create an own identity and give their opinion in a free space like the Internet. ... Of course we should not forget the discussion about in- and exclusion when we are talking about ‘every’ citizen, a discussion about who has got the right to have access to the Internet and who has not. ... In fact only a small part of the world population has the right to be connected to the Internet and to communicate in a cyberspace.
