The value of internet for the
emancipation of peoples has reached a high water mark in 2011.
Uprisings in North Africa have shown its value for the rest of
Africa, the Middle and Far East. I was honoured by several
invitations to join think tank discussions on enhancing and also
appreciating the value that internet has. It brought me to
considerations on the protection of people's privacy on-line. Privacy or anonymity?
NewtOnICT is about new things on ICT business and government policy. It also refers to a newt (one of my favorite animals, not to be confused with a nerd) and to Isaac Newton, the man who proved God to be unnecessary.
