I appreciate Wheeler's insights. Indeed, the web has changed our world, and it has the potential to change it even more. When Wheeler wrote, "Anyone who believes in democracy must view the Web as a means to achieve it at a global level. The Web gives us all a voice," he expresses a fine idealism. But, he confuses the tool with the end product. Can democracy happen without the web? Yes, it has done that. Will the web lead to democracy? Not necessarily. Can the web be a tool for democracy? Of course. Can the web be a tool for a totalitarian regime? Of course. And, while the web can give us all a voice (assuming we have adequate access), it does not give us all an equal voice. Nor can all voices be equal. Some are more true, some are wiser, and some are more productive and compassionate. Even with the use of social media in recent uprisings, we should not confuse potentiality with actuality.
