Here is a reflection in four points concerning the ICT and democracy:
* do not forget that every technological advance does not imply necessarily
the good of humanity.
* the technology will have a positive or negative effect according to who
uses it.
* the access to the Internet is reserved to a minority of people, who have
positions close to the power. To develop the democracy, the main objective to
achieve is to give this access to more representative groups of population
* The technology is not capable of doing it alone.
* The information feeds the action but it does not replace it.
