An Open Internet Is The Key To A New World. We Must Protect The Holy Grail
If you were to think about the greatest invention of all time, what would you pick? While there were many necessary inventions that needed to manifest before the idea was even plausible, the creation of the Internet should be right up there as the greatest invention to date for humanity. Obviously the natural gifts given to us by the universe are at the pinnacle of human consciousness, but the cultivation of the Internet has the ability to transcend these gifts to new heights not yet witnessed.
In many ways, the Internet is completely transforming society and priming it for what looks like a paradigm shift in social design and culture. We are on the cusp of something profound and transformational, but if we don’t protect the free and open access of the Internet, we could squander the value this tool possesses and very well slip right back into the continual cycle of wealth inequality, war, and unsustainability.
So what makes the Internet so powerful?
The Interconnection Of The World
One of the main reasons the Internet is so transformational in society is because it has interconnected the world like no other time in known history. People can literally communicate with each other all over the world almost instantaneously, and with very little to no cost. We can literally almost be in the presence of any human being through the click of a mouse, just by making a simple Skype call. Never in human history have people all over the world been able to communicate so simply and efficiently, with few control barriers to get in the way.
