      Quotations

      There are unfair laws in the world, should we be content with them, or should we change and guard them and wait for their success? Or is it broken right away? ——The Thoreau

      government's desire for control is endless.

      Since something is wrong, it should be changed.

      He hates Halloween costumes himself, but he likes to persuade others to dress up as what he likes.

      The Cultivation of Innovators: A Review of "Children of the Internet"

      Knowledge can be learned, creative thinking can be cultivated, and the real challenge of education is whether young people are motivated to grow into outstanding innovative leaders. The innovator's inner drive evolves through three stages: creative play in childhood, passion in youth, and awareness in adulthood. Parents, teachers and employers play an important role in the development of young people, and play a vital role in helping and supporting them to discover and create...

      blow some fresh

      Chinese young people are the group that I have come into contact with the most relying on the Internet, and in today's China, the Internet is indeed everywhere, as if this is the truth of everything, but what is this truth? Connotation or empty of? There are actually some Internet practitioners in my WeChat. Some of them are still "big guys" (at least the company is listed, which is considered a commercial success), but I read their posts every day, either running with the crowd at night,...

      Aaron Swartz: Guerilla Open Access Manifesto

      Aaron Swartz: Guerilla Open Access Manifesto

      Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. The world's entire scientific and cultural heritage, published over centuries in books and journals, is increasingly being digitized and locked up by a handful of private corporations. Want to read the papers featuring the most famous results of the sciences? You'll need to send enormous amounts to publishers like Reed Elsevier.

      There are...

      I can't write a short review.

      Very touched. If Steve Jobs & Bill Gates is essentially a businessman, then Aaron Swartz is essentially a warrior. #Now everyone has a license to speak. It's a question of who gets heard. #Sharing isn't immoral, it's a moral imperative. #For him, it was more important to be sure that you made a small change, than to play a small part in a big change. #Aaron believed that you literally ought to be asking youself all of the time, "What is the most important thing I could be...

      No matter how democratic or free the U.S. imperialists are, they are still stronger than your country in having the courage to speak out. New technological means have changed the way of obtaining information in the past. Information means the right to speak, and the right to speak shapes the order. Technology needs to be researched to expand continuously, and human nature does not increase or decrease, it will only be expressed in different forms, just like the Internet that led Aaron but in...

      Aaron, like Snowden, was inspired by the spirit of early internet freedom, which is obvious, but incomprehensible to those in the money world. Power tries to standardize technology, but its interpretation power is actually limited when it comes to understanding technology. But the great thing about power isn't that it doesn't need to be explained to you. A man who changed the...

      It's easy sometimes to feel like you're powerless, like when you come out on the streets and you march and you yell and nobody hears you. But I'm here to tell you today, you are powerful!! Now everyone has a license to speak. It's a questions of who get...
