10 ways to Express Art – Part III

*ki-liana:iconki-liana: reports, 1d 1h ago
The project started as a mean to collect amazing artists all around deviant in a random way or as well for already personal recognition of the same, this is ONLY for the sake of art, no favoritism or popularity has anything to do with this, only REAL good art will enter in these articles, and the art exposed in here is what we personally consider the best of the best.

Protest through excellency

~randompixels:iconrandompixels: reports, 1d 12h ago
I've met many so-called artists who, through their poor art, become more popular than the real artists and make them lose their confidence. Therefore, I decided to protest by excellence using the methods, to do something for the great artists who have something to say but who are underrated because of the huge amount of poor "art".

Culture


What could become of DA community outside the US?

=silverspider2005:iconsilverspider2005: reports, October 11, 2006
Nitin Desai, chair of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), set up by the UN, warned that concerns over the net's future could lead to separation.

Read more of this article I found in todays news [link] from the BBC.

Could this mean that DA and other communities who also have a lot of foreign members loose the ability to have foreign members in their communities who live in a country other than the originating country of the community?

For example, I come from the UK so would us UK bods (and other countries) still be allowed access to DA which in theory could be on a seperate network (in the US)?.........

or.........

will the, US network, for example, still be access able by outside networks?

Its certainly got me wondering?

That's certainly a cause for concern.

(Though next time, please don't type your summary entirely in bold. Thanks. :))

THE BBC IS BIASED AND NAVIE WHEN IT COMES TO TECHNOLOGY RELATED STORIES! Take their stories with a double pinch of salt!

Though this kind of news has been reported on other news sites.

All I can say is... that would suck.

Actually, it's almost impossible. Just imagine how much money they'd lose. How much people would become angry. We ALL speak through the internet in some sort of way. Even business men and women. It would cut so many ties with different parts of the world.

It is quite likely that because we share a common language with the us that we would remain in the same net

I doubt it would affect anything. places like DA would just host mirror sites and have offices internationally.
but i severely doubt anything would happen.
not when the net is so successful.

It doesn't sound like something that would happen... Seeing the Internet is used as an international storing facility and communications tool, it'd be but a very, very bad step to split it up into national use only.

So... It'll probably not happen. And even if countrires DO get national networks, there'd probably still be an international one, like the default used now. Eh?

I really wouldn't be too concerned about sensationalism such as this! It would be totally impractical at every level of society in any case!
