BBC's: "Virtual Revolution" served as a justification to the fact that just brush-off - Internet has really gone a long way since it began.
When asked to check the websites that the said documentary featured, I must say that haystacknetwork.com was the website which tickled my interest most. How can it be possible that a program can hack a country's internet server and restore access to the web? But when I checked haystack, I realized "Yes, it is possible. It really is!". The inventor of the site must really be genius to be able to come up with such a relief for the Iranians. For all we know, before the inventor came up with the said technology, he may have started haystack out of his sympathy to these people. The haystack inventor is really commendable because he paved the way in giving Iranians a chance to once again let their voice be heard on the world wide web. A chance that should have been a right, but was taken away from them. This only proves that an individual's concerned action like that of the haystack inventor is a tool for other people to realize a need for change. It is in this realization that hope comes. At the end of the day, everything can be resolved. In this modern world, there is always a way to solve things through the technology that we currently have. Questionable? Think not.
