ONE OF THE CHALLENGES OR QUESTIONS OF IMAGINING GLOBAL ASIA IS LOOKING FOR GLOBAL COMMUNICATION ABOUT GLOBAL ISSUES. SITTING IN A NET BAR TODAY BELOW GROUND IN A SETTING THAT REMINDED ME OF MANY CASINOS IN THE U.S.
I WONDERED IF I WOULD EVER DISCUSS GLOBAL ISSUES WITH THE YOUNG MAN SITTING NEAR ME PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. NEWS REPORTS EXIST ABOUT THE USE OF INTERNET BARS/CAFES IN EAST ASIA FOR PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. PROBABLY THOSE IN KOREA ARE MOST (IN)FAMOUS DUE TO THE POOR HEALTH AND EVEN DEATH OF SOME GAMERS. SCANNING AROUND THE NET BAR I COULD SEE THAT OF THE APPROXIMATELY 100 PEOPLE IN THERE, PROBABLY 100 WERE PLAYING VARIOUS VIDEO GAMES. ARE THESE THE PEOPLE I’M TRYING TO WORK WITH TO FIND WAYS OF CREATING CLEANER ENERGY? THE PRESENCE OF THE NETBAR DEMONSTRATES THAT THE CAPACITY IS THERE TO COMMUNICATE VIA THE INTERNET. BUT IN WHAT LANGUAGE WOULD WE COMMUNICATE? FURTHER, TO WHAT EXTENT ARE WE VICTIMS OF OUR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES? HOW HAVE OUR NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS SHAPED OUR EXPECTATIONS TO SOLVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS AND OUR EXPECTATIONS OF OUR GOVERNMENTS TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS? MY BRAIN IS BROKEN EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT THE WAY THINGS WORK IN CHINA YET I SEE PEOPLE EVERY DAY WHO FACE CONCERNS SIMILAR TO MINE. Chris Eberhardt
