Aspects to consider

Our opening discussion for the semester was to describe our concept of information infrastructure. One of my classmates, Magda, noted at the end of her post that

"National information infrastructure may vary due to local beliefs and customs; the level of freedom allowed citizens; and the economic conditions of the nation. On a global level, beliefs, customs, and laws can expedite or hinder the free flow of information."

As I examine information infrastructure in Mexico, I plan to keep this idea firmly in mind, although with perhaps a bit of a twist. I think that local beliefs and customs directly affect the level of freedom allowed to citizens. My premise is that the higher the level of freedom, the broader and stronger the information infrastructure, and therefore the freer the flow of information.
