Please explain why your idea/project, is suited/perfect to using... 'media' ...to bring about A BETTER "WORLD"...the entire planet...?
Greetings Tara,
Media Justice that works... Well, yes, indeed, but if people [labeled, to be, 'left behind'] are willing to agree "buy"/"assuming this identity" & be left-behind, isn't this a familiar sight? Take, for metaphorical instance, the group of kids strolling through the neighborhoods of every community in the WORLD. Now if we focus on the frequent straggler in his own family-circle, will this straggler also find him/her self lagging behind this youth-group (community) of choice? When, our main character calls ahead, 'Hey you guys, wait up, don't leave me behind", to which the one 'vocal-leading' child with a bit more snewly found insight, replies "Hey, catch up, stop lagging behind" him/her self having learned from the nomads of yesterday (history/family). Now, does it become ap-parent (exactly as parents often prepare their children for the WORLD stage through example(s)) that, no mater who tries to help the stragglers-of-humanity 'catch-up', their must-hard be a deeper sense of desire & passion originating from WiTHiN anyone wanting to be an integral part of the leader(s) passion to learn by sitting/moving to 'The Front Row' which does exist, already. Here, our scenario clearly spells out the problem at hand, as "idol hands (feet) are..." & 'sow' the story goes, one may or may not finish that common saying in the way another knows it, but 'reaps' it daily from one's upbringing.
Are the hurdles of life, set up [by human nature] precisely to produce stronger, strides & minds, in everyone willing & able to choose/keep up with the evolving "neighborhoods", groups & communities being born every moment? As older, less active 'minds' (generations) choose not to grasp snewly formed ways of communicating, is it really, simply natural selection, taking it's course?
Since it's clear "MMC wants to ensure that socioeconomic status, ethnic background, dis/ability, or age will not hinder a person's right-to-access and her/his ability to produce knowledge using social and new media tools", we definitely question the 'knowledge produced' by those 'choosing' to get left behind, with so much open source & tutorial instruction available in today's WORLD. Does the labeling of individuals often ensure that these minds find themselves at the bottom of the totem pole, expecting someone to re-carve the pole for them, instead of them carving out their own pole/path to catch up to the rest of us. Providing access is commendable, if in fact, "under-served and technologically under-accessed communities 'will' [take it upon themselves to] have better access to broadband Internet, [by changing their self-inclined (or inherited?) position in the group, to create] increased digital literacy, and be INSPIRED by community member-examples; not given computer access without supervision/guidance when ones focus chooses to stray into surfing popular media &] exposure to professional, academic, and personal enrichment opportunities [that will not benefit personal growth, but ensure a lessening economic status when they have to 'keep up with the jones's]. With access, literacy, and mentorship, these individuals will be better equipped to serve the communities around them and beyond". We do agree, your last sentence, is the best case scenario! And we would like to see that it IS funded. We'd like to know how you (MMC) will ensure a long-term concern for the well-being of said individuals. If holding the idle hand now, is going to make a difference for the future, of our BETTER entire WORLD, are we too imagine that there will ALL WAYS & ALLWAYS be someone available to hold these hands?
Our directness is based on experiencing these questions & answers on a daily basis; is why we've been 'sow' open & honest with our observations & questions, which we hope you share insight on so many of us will not reap-eat the actions that 'get us left behind'. Please educate & Inspire US All on how MMC will 'carry the torch & for how long' will the fuel you have, continue to cause so many individual flames to burn as brightly as they would if said individuals found fuel for their own flame 'to catch up' to the group of globally interested change-makers presently leading the pack, & not slowing down for the rest of us. Are we witnessing planned-obsolescence in our growing-world-society? There is cause for alarm, absolutely! We only want to know who is going to encourage &/OR USE media to INSPIRE a BETTER WORLD, by helping individuals 'choose' from the resources available NOW!
"Inspiration, is doing, when doing is hindering".
Thank you for allowing us to be real. We have team members suffering from these issues right now, but at the same time, we have become examples of a better world with every patient step we take "around them & living in the community, among them as they lag behind, trip & fall off the naturally & or intrinsically unsaddled horse we ride, build & care for, labeled, OUR society".
We hope for more questions/discussions 'to be continued' later...already, this has been a busy "[ME]dia (My-day)"~! Thanks! Peace~!

PS: Eight thirty-five AM found me between dream world & 'reality', thus, we hope you can make sense of the two 'societies'.
