The world continues on its course of ever more rapid change and the social landscape seems different every morning we wake up. I recently started working on a segment to do with The Reformation and could not help but think that many of the experiences that people went through back in the 1500's are now strangely being mirrored in our experiences today. With the access we now have to our own self determined learning combined with the freedom of information made possible by the internet, I would argue that these forces together have a similar impact to that of the vernacular version of the bible written by Martin Luther back in his time. There will be growing pains and just like with the 1500's Reformation not everyone will make the wisest choices with the new freedom of information afforded to them. However, I ultimately align myself with another voice for freedom at that time "Erasmus" who said. "The strength of an institution should never be reliant on the ignorance of its followers" For Contact, [email protected]
