Thanks John!
Clearly the Internet is just becoming mature, and perhaps the greatest period of growth and transformation are still to come…

These decisions finally forged my destiny. So i’d say the same for the internet maybe in the next five to ten years we will truly see the precipitation of the internet into it’s ultimate direction in terms of whether we have a public good or a tool for anarchy or an oracle for the future renaissance of civilisation. Our attitudes towards geopolitical issues, the climate and management of natural resources will obviously dictate how the internet will be used. Whether we will use it to revamp our governance and administrative processes or mainly for circumvention of worn our standards and practices. It’s about whether we decide to save our world or just let it slide that will determine the probabilities of the internet’s success as a supportive tool.
