[comment] Google as a peacemaker?

One of Korean newspaper (Jonjashinmun) reported that Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google company, asserted in Nikkei Forum 2005 in Japan that IT technology will save human beings: e.g. Google earth's realtime photo service saved around 4 thousand people in the area damaged by hurricane Katrina. If that is true, it shows literally thatl technology saves the world. He added that Google Earth shows just 1 percent of total information over the world, so realization of potential information use would make the global peace possible.

Personally, I have argued that subculture media like Weblog could save the world with the power of its realtime interactivity. That's why Schmidt's remark http://news.naver.com/news/read.php?mode=LSD&office_id=030&article_id=0000121762§ion_id=102&menu_id=102 attracted my interest. What do you think about IT tech and global peace?
