Powers of Internet - (Uses for Good)

The Internet is powerful. Very very powerful. Look at how it has crept into almost all areas of our lives in such a short time.

And along with the Internet it has changed many many things which people has never thought possible before. (Just like before the first airplane came about no one ever thought they could fly right)

I received a wonderful article this morning of how the Internet has helped a young man fulfilled his dream.


Summarised version (by kermit for easy reading): Aspiring artist Duane Keiser spends one to three hours daily working on postcard paintings that he posts to a blog to sell on Ebay.
On Keiser's blog and the blogs of scores of other mostly non-famous artists who make small original paintings nearly every day and sell them for as little as $100 each. It doesn't make them rich, but it allows them to make a living as an artist, and it could make some of them famous.
The Internet makes it possible for anyone to be an artist.
