At my Fingertips.

The Right to See, Think, and Speak.
The world is racing past, faster than any generation before has experienced. Every second brings new events, new crises, new opportunities, and new stories unfolding. I see it all — not in the hazy distance, but vividly, in real time. And unlike past generations who relied on word of mouth, slow-printed papers, or heavily filtered broadcasts, I stand in an age of unprecedented connection.
Modern technology has handed me tools my parents could barely imagine. My mother, for example, could only marvel at the possibility that one day her child would hold in his hands a device that could record, create, broadcast, and publish to a global audience within seconds. She grew up in a world where communication was tethered to ink and paper, or perhaps the lucky click of a typewriter key. I live in a world where a thought can be captured in pixels, transmitted as data, and echoed across the globe in an instant.
And so I ask: why shouldn’t I use it?
With a computer, software, artificial intelligence, and an internet connection, I am equipped with a creative arsenal no king, president, or media mogul of the last century could rival. I can write, film, edit, compose, design, and share my perspective without the permission of any gatekeeper. This is power — not the oppressive kind, but the liberating kind. The power to speak for oneself. The power to contribute to the great conversation of our age.
Some may not like what I have to say. Some may feel discomfort when their beliefs, actions, or narratives are challenged. But freedom of expression was never meant to guarantee comfort. It exists precisely so that voices — even the inconvenient ones, even the controversial ones — can be heard. To suppress opinion is not to protect society; it is to diminish it.
Those who try to take that away are not just silencing me, they are attempting to roll back the progress of human communication itself. They want to limit the tools at my fingertips, the ideas in my head, and the right to connect the two. This is not simply about me having a platform; it is about a broader human principle — that if you have eyes to see and a mind to think, you have the right to speak.
Shame on anyone who believes otherwise. History has shown, time and time again, that silencing voices does not prevent truth from emerging; it merely delays it. And when it finally surfaces — as truth always does — it shines all the brighter for having been suppressed.
I will continue to use the technology available to me, not just because I can, but because I must. My perspective is mine alone. My voice is mine alone. And as long as the tools of the modern world remain at my fingertips, I will use them. Because this is the first time in history that an ordinary person has been given the extraordinary ability to share their vision with the entire world — and I refuse to waste it.
