Future of the Internet

What will it mean for the world and the economy if millions more people will have access to the internet? Jared Cohen had recently co-authored a book that talks about the impacts of the digital age. One of the biggest things that he stressed was that there should not be as big of a debate about whether technology and application development is good or bad but how it will affect the world because the fact that millions of people are going to be connecting to the internet is not going to change anytime soon. Another part of the discussion is that there will be no delete button and parents need to talk to their kids and start early about the importance of online privacy and security. Greatly put but the author, "technology will make revolutions start happening faster, but it'll make them harder to finish. Technology can't create leaders and cause institutions to appear." Just something to mull over as you are browsing the web.
