Do you think it can be stopped? of course it can't. The Internet is an idea piggybacking on corporate and commercial hardware. Its already owned, we're all just rinsing the last days of freedom before the loopholes get closed and it goes pay-per-view.
Before the Internet there was CB radio... an entirely unregulated set of airwaves that people would network on in a giant web of communication. Then it got bought under regulation and licensed, and CB culture died. It wasn't mourned for long though because along came the internet, and soemwhere out there is a new Tim Berner's-Lee with an idea for a whole new unregulated means of communication. So relax. The Web isn't ours, we're just parasites on commercial hardware. I really have no fucking idea what I'm talking about here. The internet is really not my area of interest. Did it sound good though? Could I bluff my way through a seminar? Fuck yeah.
