edisclosure myth or reality? » Beijing https://jollyvip.com/edisclosure From litigation to the arbitration regime Tue, 01 Jul 2025 10:14:39 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 Internet Sovereignty https://jollyvip.com/edisclosure/2010/06/09/internet-sovereignty/ https://jollyvip.com/edisclosure/2010/06/09/internet-sovereignty/#comments Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:38:23 +0000 http://iedisc.com/2010/06/09/internet-sovereignty/ My time in China is nearly drawing to a close… time for me to leave Beijing. Leaving Beijing does not mean my special interests in ‘most things Chinese’ will cease. I adore ‘most things Chinese’ and the past months of living in Beijing have stretched not only my mandarin learning capability but also my ability to cope with the environment i.e. from air to information to food (the basic necessities of life?). I must admit I did not cope too well with the air and the food (except Peking Duck which I love!).

However, being a student and living nearby the beautiful Peking University campus compensated for all the not so nice stuff or inconveniences associated with living in Beijing. What inconveniences? Mmm..No Facebook plus no access to blogging sites. I am now more aware of what is the meaning of ‘information gap’ (or may I say – information control?). Actually I am more aware but this awareness does not contribute to my general well-being. Does the lack of information affect one’s general well-being? This question pops up as I read the news ‘Freedom of expression on Internet guaranteed’ especially this statement;
‘The Internet has an “irreplaceable role in accelerating the development of the national economy” and will continue to impact daily work, education and lifestyles, the paper says.’
From this I am deducing that my general well-being will be impacted.

This blog will mark not only my varied, different lifestyles in Beijing but also that the internet has crossed over to the sovereignty realm.

Anyhow, I am joining the Sina blogging sphere and hope to improve my mandarin and also improve my general well-being.
I also hope to get back into the ediscovery sphere once I am back or cross over the other side of the Internet.

Perhaps only when it comes to changing to a new year, a new calendar. Should I look back to the noughties years (2000s) or even well before the noughties years?

I guess it won’t make any sense to compare or contrast past year’s events or developments especially when it comes to talking about technology or the internet. Still…it does make interesting reading if one can grasp the full extent of the changing technological landscape.

Since I am only able to recognize the changing calendar and as I have been on the move a lot over the past years, my newsfeed are via my friends or from social media sites. Being in Beijing means access to social media sites and blog sites takes on a new dimension. I have to re-invent how I connect with new friends and turn to the foursquare to ‘shout’ out my location or bearing. Would anyone find my identity and location in 2012? (see the movie?!)

Nothing to do with ediscovery but a reminder that I am in Beijing and a Chinese friend has a new business at www.tui3.com   My challenge is to learn mandarin (fast enough!?) such that I can use this site.

Before I say farewell to the noughties, here is a glimpse of what someone said ‘you need to know about e-discovery in 2010’.

Notice any changes? I can only recognize the change from 2009 to 2010.

Happy 2010.
