Photos and videos from the past week in Burma.
One of the most gripping aspects of the deadly drama unfolding in the
streets of Rangoon and elsewhere across Burma is the determination of
ordinary people to supply the world with images of the protests and the
regime's brutal response. Because of the presence of everyday
technology like cellphones and small digital cameras we know far more
about what is happening inside the country than the regime could have
imagined. It is no longer enough to shut journalists out of a country
to prevent information from reaching the outside world.The overlords of
Burma are learning that their own people constitute a press corps of
sorts, processing images in an instant and — so far at least —
denying the regime a place to hide.
Below we package together some of the images and videos that have caught our attention this week.

I hope/wish I live in the 23rd Century for 21st Century “minds” are so primitive and the attitudes and knowledge sucks. I’m sick and tired of today’s mentality and attitudes.
