As I have recently found out from bbc.com Pope Benedetto XVI has launched his own channel on Youtube. Apparently being fond of new technologies, the Pope aims to reach a bigger cyber space that he refers as the 'digital generation'. He will be airing in English, German, Spanish and Italian. Will he gain more exposure? Is that his aim? "You must find new ways to spread -in a new manner- voice and pictures of hope, through the internet, which wraps all of our planet in an increasingly close knitted-way". So also the Pope has discovered the extramundane powers of the cyber world. However, I think it's ironic how Pope will be airing on a website that could also contain a lot of elements that would be condemned by the Catholic world. Having lived in Italy for 5 months and having conversed with the 'digital generation' that Pope hopes to reach to about such issues, it will be interesting for me follow up on the success of this channel.
