Americans aren’t much different from Koreans.

I’ve got news from Vimeo’s email newsletter.

And I found this.

If you love Vimeo, and you love money, come on in.

They know so many bloggers are love with the money. That’s why they put advertisement with tag line of ‘If you love Vimeo, and you love money, come on in.’
A few month ago, I wrote Real problem is people believe money will bring the happiness. @ April 19, 2013 and proved that so many Koreans are falling in love with money.

And as you can see, Americans weren’t that different.

 

“Vimeo is a U.S.-based video-sharing website”

Unfortunately, famous thinker doesn’t know anything about the real world.

Dalai Lama, he talked a lot about material thing doesn’t bring the happiness.

Placing all our hope on material development is clearly mistaken; the ultimate source of happiness is within us.
source – Dalai Lama’s tweet @ 6:31 PM – 24 Apr 13

Material development only brings us physical comfort; mental development depends on training the mind.
source – Dalai Lama’s tweet @ 7:59 PM – 27 Nov 10

Of course, it is a true. But problem is so many people are falling love with money and they are thinking that money will bring the happiness.

So what he talks about can’t really help people.

 

That’s why he need to understand how ordinary people are thinking.

 

This is the reason internet is the future and it will bring equality to human society.

That’s what I believe.

Here May Clipart Be Used Comparison – Openclipart

Their cliparts which were made by people who believe in public domain, are all freely use.

Their explanation about website:

Openclipart is original royalty free clipart, Images, Graphics, Templates, Icons, for unlimited commercial use on posters, presentations, greeting cards, coloring books illustrations, and design.
– quoted from openclipart website

And they also explain their meaning of ‘royalty free clipart’:

Our definition of Royalty Free (the same as Royalty-free) is that no matter how many times you use our clipart, your usage is completely free. You are not billed, charged, or taxed for using our clipart. You do not need to ask us even to use our clipart. You may use it completely free of restrictions.
– quoted from Royalty Free Clipart – Openclipart

‘completely free of restrictions’. It’s marvelous, isn’t it?

And you can follow openclipart.org through twitter and facebook so you can get the new cliparts information and tips.

Anyway, I did know about this website from Inkscape which is an Open Source vector graphics editor.

Why this can help equality issue in human society?

Currently we have issues about the digital divide. You can read details from Wekipedia’s digital divide article.

You can find so many articles related to information divide or digital divide from internet.

It starts from inequality of access the information. But this public domain will make equal of access the information.

That’s why.

Of course, there has many open source projects, too. And creative commons also.

Of course, not only openclipart.org doing that. There has so many Open Source projects going on such as Linux operating system, OpenOffice, Gimp photoshop software, Mozilla FireFox web browser, video player VLC, 3D creation software Blender and so on.

And also there has so many projects or websites follow creative commons to anyone can read and share and adapt to it such as Wikipedia and so many personal blogs and so on.

And I forgot to mention the free ebooks – Project Gutenberg.

These marvelous websites and open source projects will help our humanity. I hope you do believe that, too.
