Internet politics in Cuba

The Internet socialization of ICTs, paying particular attention to the social and political climate that has led to its development in Cuba. Numerous experts based in developed countries insist on presenting Internet as the panacea for all the world's problems, still overlook the very disparate Internet penetration rates in the world in 2009, 74% in the US; 29.9% in Latin America and the Caribbean; and a mere 5.6% in Africa. It is a mistake to reiterate the typically first-world glorification of the Internet as a tool that facilitates inherently democratic participation. The lack of awareness of or attention to this notion's theoretical framework is a recurring problem in both academic and journalistic texts, which tend to be written from an overly simplistic and individualist perspectives.
