Future of Information Dissemination (Score 1)

Seems to me that humanity has had a taste of a truly global information network. It's not the specific act of, say, uploading a political message on YouTube, that is changing the way 'the people' interact with their governments. I'd say it's the very existance of a 'global information network' that is revolutionizing the way we, as the 'human race', are interacting with each other. The genie is out of the bottle, and no amount of 'government interference' can stop the information revolution. Even if the Internet is brought down, by whatever means, for whatever reasons, humanity as a whole has discovered that freedom of information is *the* most powerful tool for empowering the individual to 'make a difference'.

Ad-hock networks, anyone?
