The sailors and the media

The sailors and the media

150 150 eriks

This rather strange title probably make less sense. However it does. I started to think about the new media and what the purpose of it is. I thought of the following analogy:

Sailors aren’t afraid of storms, they learn to live with them, learn to handle them and/or build better ships. The same can be said about wars. They will come, but we will need to learn how to deal with them.

I am not naïve, but I am as said so many times before optimistic. There is a way.
