v7 v8 1 Wiring for "Another World" -- Internet, Technology and the Social Forum 2 3 by Alfredo Lopez 1 4 2 5 "...to get folks to think about technologists as a part of the movement and not a means to an end." … … 185 188 186 189 As Daniel put it: "We can have a world where our ability to communicate with one another is controlled by a few profit-minded corporations, or we can work to build a community-engaged communications network that brings people together with goals of justice, equality, and liberty. That other world is possible, but if we just go with the default options offered by the large infotech corps, we won't get there. So i think the role of tech in future USSFs is a large one." 190 191 192 New York-based veteran activist Alfredo Lopez is Co-Director of May First/People Link.
