The main idea of the two articles is talking about the evolution of internet technology break down the boundary of race and ethic; it builds up a platform for communication between different nations. Therefore we should not underestimation the affect of society because of the power of cyber. For instance, the form of economic, politic and education can be altered because of the internet. Even more, the quality of our life will be improve due to the convenience offer by the internet.
According to the first article, many company use the graphical and video which display the racial and ethnic difference for their advisement on the internet. There was an ads which make me impressive is the Coca-Cola’s one. The picture show people from different race hold their hand together and sing. The other one which a also like is the one from IBM. In that ad, people from different nations “say” IBM with different accent. These facts giving strong evidence that indicates because of the internet, the distance of every people getting closer regardless of different age, gender, race and ethic. In the internet, while we know more friends thought weblog such as fackbook and friendsters, making discussion thought the forum or discussion board and watching video from youtube. It help us to know more about the facts from different countries, communiticate with different people with different nationality and provide different views on a specific issue by people from different fields. As a result, it breaks down the limit between different people. Therefore, in the first sentence of the article, the writer states a statement “there is no race. There is no gender. There is no age. There are no infirmities. There are only minds. Utopia? No, internet.
The level of freedom of speech and the flowing of information on the internet is what we have never seen in the history. Besides, the MUD is getting more and more famous in the internet. After I have read the second article, I consider that it is a good idea to add @race properties in the MooScape. Instead of assuming that every people in the MooScape is white, It can make the virtual world become more realistic and wilder the range of interaction.

As you say “the quality of our life will be improve due to the convenience offer by the internet.”, I totally agree this. In our modern society, The Internet is an essential tool for our daily lives to consider. The Internet service, one of the media communication tool, is really easy to create relationships, like friendships. Personally I dislike racism so much, so I really appreciate our evolution of Internet technology because the power is able to break down the boundary of race and ethic, as you mentioned above.
I also watched that Coca-Cola commercial where a bunch of people with different ethnic backgrounds were holding hands and singing. I liked it too! My thoughts on that commercial were Coca-Cola was trying to show that everyone drinks Coke and that was the bottom line.
You talk about MUD & MooScape. What are they? I’ll l Google it later,. You see, you can learn just about anything from the internet…with discretion! Having access to just about any information is convenient and helpful, thanks to the internet.
"The main idea of the two articles is talking about the evolution of internet technology break down the boundary of race and ethic; it builds up a platform for communication between different nations." that is a great thing to make a point about. this article did break that down for us a lot. Also that race should not matter. I agree with that in so many ways.
