This article, from BBC News, is talking about allowing other countries to use non-Latin characters for domain names on the internet. I am definitely not well educated in technology, but from what I understand, this means that countries, such as China for example, would be able to use their own form of writing and lettering for their websites. This changes the formatting of the internet and general and is a pretty big deal. According, to this article, communication willl be enhanced. Planning has been in action for a couple of years now and the non-Latin internet language is almost ready to be put into action. In my opinion, this will be a positive factor for communication in general. If our world can learn to communicate together, we will eventually have a broader, more well-rounded information system. This also shows how technologically-linked we really are and how technology is increasing everyday.
