Thomas Paine was a very radical man. He was fond of the idea revolution is almost every situation. If he were stuck in today's world he would probably feel the same way as he did in the 18th century. Wherever he could find a potential revolution, he would probably latch on to the idea and help it build until it finally game true. Because of this, I think that Paine would really enjoy the idea of the internet. He would probably feel strongly about the internet being used to help the elections and be very strongly against some internet sites being banned in China.
Given that Paine was around for the American Revolution and helped it happen, he would probably be in awe and very proud of the way things were now. He'd be happy that all men have equal rights and would probably push for everything to be even more equal (though I'm not quite sure how this would be achieved).
