You might have heard of Mark Zuckerberg (CEO of Facebook) announcing his vision to get everyone on Earth connected with the Internet.

There have been LOTS of online discussions about his goal for the future, the implications if it was to happen, the reason why it is not possible, etc… Everyone seems to have a strong opinion about it.

As a savvy business person, he is surrounding himself with other powerful leaders by creating a consortium of some sort. We invite you to check out the website for his endeavor at http://internet.org/

Mr. Zuckerberg has also developed an interesting white paper available to the public on… guess where?… Facebook. For those interested in reading it, simply click on this link.

He writes “Connecting the world is one of the greatest challenges of our generation. This is just one small step toward achieving that goal. I’m excited to work together to make this a reality.” At Business Website Center, we say “Why not?” It may not happen in every village of developing countries but it is worth trying. The Internet has enabled us to stay in touch with people at the other side of the Earth. It is helping educate people who, without it, would not have access to valuable information. It is even helping find missing people, reunite love ones, and many other positive things.

Yes we are biased since our profession is to develop websites. But, here is the truth, the Internet is here to stay. We can either embrace it and find ways to make it a powerful tool for the entire planet or you can “try” to hide from it.

It is your decision!
