We already have the tools to do everything you described. The real problems are:
Educating users -- a lot of people are not aware of anything other than the web
Getting the tools into the countries like China
No, mrogers is right.
People who think we already have the tools don't understand the problem well enough. Broad-based education is an end, not a means. If it is a mandatory means (God help us), then we need tools to get us there.
As an important semantic point, if the scheme that gets us to our goals isn't already in motion, then we don't have the tools yet. To think otherwise is to confuse collective behavior with volition.
