About

Living is Learning & Learning is Living I am not an activist of any form or kind. Definitely not a political activist. My dissertation more than twenty years ago introduced the concept of "C.A.R.E." for Communicate-Awareness-Report-Educate in dealing with then ever growing field of technology risks, i.e. beginning of the commercialization of the Internet. I practiced what I preach since then, and leaving politics out of it, till the events unfolding in October 2023. From a humanitarian perspective, and for the first time, I could not resist the human obligation to CARE. And every day that I decide my contribution in the Communication or raising Awareness is come to an end, and although I will not stop caring but making it less vocal, I receive pictures, videos, speeches of the atrocities committed, resemblance of the ICJ 15-2 vote of Genocide committed under our eyes. Why do we need another 20 years to start analyzing why we did not do something about it now?
