Reading Part 5:

Ethan Zuckerman is excited by the possibilities the web provides for linking far-flung populations, for

sampling different ways of life, for making us all digital cosmopolitans. His central thesis, however, is that while the internet does, in principle, enable everyone to become genuinely cosmopolitan, in practice it does nothing of the kind. As the philosopher Anthony Appiah puts it, true cosmopolitanism ‘challenges us to embrace what is rich,

productive and creative’ about differences; in other words, to go beyond merely being tolerant of those who are

different. Much of the early part of Rewire is taken up with demonstrating the extent to which the internet, and our use of it, fails THAT TEST.

Q: What do the words ‘THAT TEST’ in refer to?

• providing more widespread access to information

• connecting in a substantial way with other cultures

• establishing principles for developing the internet

• accepting that not everyone in the world is the same
