Over the past decade Taiwan has changed dramatically, especially in terms of democratic development. This has happened to coincide with the arrival of the information age, so that there has been an explosion in channels by which people relay information and opinion. For a long time the people of Taiwan dared not say much. Now people participate enthusiastically in public discourse, and everyone has something to say.
這十年來，台灣社會變化巨大，尤其是民主的發展，正好躬逢電子資訊時代的到來，言論管道在一夜之間爆增百倍，台灣人從不敢多言一下子成為叩應天堂中的熱烈參與者，人人有話要說，再也沒有話題的禁忌，一個制約的時代似乎在霎那間消失於無形。
