Holding Back Mankind

Lincoln people are up in arms for the public utility of internet service. This service has been monopolized by internet providers and broadband cable providers because they don’t want to lose any of there money. This is just another example of the capitalist society of America holding back the advances of human culture. So many times the people want to take something especially resources and jack up the prices to make millions or billions of dollars for themselves. For instance, the oil industry. There has never been a bigger monopoly in which people took the resources and made others pay ridiculous amounts of money. People’s greed is always what has held back the progression of mankind. People could have made greater strides technologically if they all had access to oil, such as being connected and being able to get ideas to one another or having the energy to create a project. The monopolization of internet is just another road block on the road to advancement.

Now many people in Lincoln are petitioning for the public utilities to be allowed to provide internet access for everyone. Earlier petitions have already been shot down because people don’t want to be losing any money. We all are greedy in some way or another and we all are holding back the advancement of mankind to a perfect utopia. So many things could be shared to help other people’s lives better through having free internet to the rural parts of Lincoln. Originally, the internet was a government project so why can’ they say that people are allowed to have free internet through their power lines. People amaze me constantly that they are willing to force someone to live at a lower standard to raise themselves up. I whole-heartedly agree that something as useful as the web should be free to help all man.
