There’s No Turning Back

The Huffington Post is an online Newspaper that main focus is online media dealing with political news posted on blogs around the Internet. The Except published by Tim O’Brien  “EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT: Wikileaks, Assange, And Why There’s No Turning Back ” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/09/wikileaks-assange-transparency_n_820348.html) was published by the Huffington Post because Wikileaks caused a lot of commotion on the Internet in the United stated during the begining on 2011. Micah L Sify the main author of this article is a researcher in the field of how the Itnternet is effecting politics and expands on this idea in his excerpt. Wikileaks is a Wiki dedicated to unveiling the truth about the United States Governments activities around the world . It is a a wiki because it is a site that is dedicated and maintained by its community of followers and as well as a network administrator. The main point that I gathered from this article was that the innovation of Wikileaks with the help of  Assange its Australian Founder has deeply changed society. Sifry talks about how Wikileaks is merely the first step in a monumental shift in politicics in which more people are now able to participate efficiently. Sifry calls this momnumental change becoming a more “Transparent society” where politicians and the people they represent are all represented equally and held accountable for their actions.
