In May of 2008, I spent two weeks in Iran. Its hard for me to reconcile the images of violence that spread across the globe after the 2009 election with the peaceful streets I witnessed a year before. What was going on behind the walled courtyards of Tehran while I was there?

Well, for one thing, millions of tech savvy people my age sat behind computers tripping through cyberspace, absorbing everything they could of the world both inside and outside their nation's borders. Here's a glimpse of Iran's Internet Generation:

Thank you for all your videos and I watched them all. Your cousin from "E-mail from Tehran" video looks like your twin!!!!! Both of you wear glasses....

     This video, "Internet and Tea", is very clear. The videos from your website look clear, but jerky. It feel like the video and the sound "stop and go", very sporadic...you may need to check to see if the videos were up-loaded properly. I recall I watched the introductory video on IC not long ago, it was great, flowing properly, and no technical problems.

Thank you so much for your hard work!
