Why it's time to stop rebel online

Internet - the most democratic and open information environment. If the hero of one of the movies dreamed that one day the time will come when everyone will get their 10 minutes in a TV broadcast and this will change the world for the better, but now we have a 24-hour free "Ether". But the world is a better reason still does not change.

We have a lot of time to spend on the perturbations in their blogs, on the pages of social networks in the relevant groups and communities, just in Twitter, or even in the status in Skype. We are outraged by everything: from the government's actions to neighbors who litter in the stairwell. We resent the distant America (in which 90% of the active "vozmuschentsev" the web will not fall due to simple lack of passport). We are outraged by Russia's neighbors (because they live suddenly as represented to us or to those who have successfully It feeds us a different version of reality with the help of TV, online media or personal blogs of political and social movements). Even our own country are indignant - and where it does not on the Internet to write about it! Around literally grow on trees cranks with the letter M - with the same need to somehow fight!

In fact, everything is much simpler. If, instead of 5-10 minutes, you spent on the outrage on the Internet with their neighbors, the park on the lawn, take hand hammer, nails and some bars - the decorative fence may appear, which can obstruct the flowerbed in entrance. And in 99% of cases, no special flowerbed on the machine will not put more. If, instead of half an hour proceedings at the forum, who is responsible for the stupidity and inattention of motorists pedestrians to to comply with traffic rules everywhere, and then teach it to all their relatives, friends and acquaintances - the number of offenders begins decrease.

If you get together with friends and make a playground in the yard (or even better - to find the sane people in the mayor's office and to connect them to the process) - it will work. And you will work, believe me. And the collection of children's clothes and medical supplies, computers and even for those who need them, but who do not have their money for this, too, can be arranged with the help of the Internet. I live in a small (350 thousand people), City - and works tested. I do not resent that State, this mythical monster, something "makes" or "does not deliver." State - it's you. Of course, you can sit on "para-cut" spending the winter in one country, summer - in another, fall and spring - in the third. And then for a brief moment coming back, wondering why such grayness around, horror and unsettled.

Internet - a great playground for communication and crowdsourcing ideas for community to withdraw from an online to offline, not only for meetings under different flags or requirements "to make it as before." Yes, an online community not rewrite laws more transparent (at least, not immediately), not abolish customs sad face, will not improve the features of climate and will not reduce the level of crime one stroke. But there are hundreds - even thousands - of small things, of which our daily life develops. And it is these little things each of us, with the support of friends of 2-3, 5-10 friends (even from the Internet, not necessarily living right next to you - and maybe close, but just out of the Web, you never met before) - that it is these little things and you can change.

Do not resent the internet - just do. Change what you think wrong right now near you. Dreaming of changing the country or society as a whole, Start with the fact that you can change for the better in his yard before the end of this week. So it will be much more useful.
