Today is OneWebDay, an
Earth Day for the Internet.
The idea behind OneWebDay is
"to encourage people to think of themselves as responsible for the
Internet, and to take good and visible actions on Sept. 22 that
celebrate the positive impact of the Internet on the world."
As a communications person, I truly believe the Internet has altered
my destiny. I came out of journalism school and went into PR ten years
ago. I was totally into the potential of Internet to enable real
dialogue. (There wasn’t much relating in public relations during the
mass media era.) I learned all I could and applied it to my
professional life. I believe I am extremely fortunate to have the
opportunity to practice communications during such a transformative
time.
There are OneWebDay events happening around the globe today. Given how
essential the Internet is to our world, I think it’s important to take
a moment for reflection and to dream a bit today.
Let’s celebrate OneWebDay together. Please leave a comment and share:
