my opinion about ( Think Globally, Upload Locally )

(Think globally, Upload Locally) the title its self is interesting and attractive.The internet is easily accessible by everyone around the world, and for that it has positive and negative impacts. Some negative impacts about the web is that anyone could upload anything, and that always raises the question of how reliable is the source of information, other negative aspect is that websites took the place of books, nowadays teenagers prefer to use the internet rather than read a book. Using the internet properly is very hard, because it is filled with negative rumors, hocks, and political jocks that could make huge misunderstandings even between countries. moreover, its not just for The internet but also in Design. whenever a designer works on something he should consider the Glob outside while thinking and designing, no one knows where can his designs reach. on the other hand, sometimes Designs or artwork cannot be viewed or shown outside a specific country or city because no one would understand it or get it, like the examples they had in the presentation about the UAE Blocked pages in the internet, that character is totally for Emarits people.
here in KSA saudi designers try their best to come up with local designs that matches the culture and only works here not anywhere else, all of that because they want to Strengthens the traditions throughout the Design.
