What do you use the internet for? Besides checking your mail, reading the news and catching the latest sports score, the internet can serve as a tool in daily lives. In particular, there are many scholars who are beginning to focus on the influence of internet as a tool for democracy in a country.

The next question is—how does the internet influence democracy? And in particular, what impact can it have in Armenia? Finally there is yet another new phenomenon occurring within the cyber world and that is Blogging. Blogsites have become increasingly more popular within the past few years and more and more people are beginning to use these sites as a place for commentary on politics, society, economy and contemporary issues.

What about Blogging in Armenia? How can we get you involved? Come to this interesting presentation and find out!
