Media and Information Revolution

For over 20 years technology has continually enabled information and news to travel almost unimpeded from individuals to individuals. This of course had profoundly changed the developed world path forward but more importantly has sped developing and rest of the world arrival to influencing and imparting social, economical and political change. This process by no means will be nice and clean due compressed time lines for realizing change but non the less inevitable. Developing world will not necessarily follow a per-determined model devised in Washington DC, London or Paris, they will blaze their own trail. At times their local and national interests will be even be more divergent to developed world's interests. There will be lots of cased where Middle East, African South American people will ask why do we help them when there is nothing in it for us.

The days of massive arms sales to dictators and persuading them to follow our advisor' recommendations on social, economical and political discourse are numbered. The "rest of the world" is beginning to think for themselves and will demand equal presents at the table. No more building shit Air Bases, airports and highways that will not be used because some dick head king signs the contract. The west will have to now begin to earn every dollar they make over there.
