Technology thinkers and stakeholders assess the future social, political, and economic impact of the internet.
"Hundreds of internet leaders, activists, builders and commentators were asked about the effect of the internet on social, political and economic life in the year 2020. The views of the 742 respondents who completed this survey were varied; there is general agreement about how technology might evolve, but there is less agreement among these respondents about the impact of this evolution. Most believe the internet will continue to spread in a "flattening" and improving world. There are many, though, who think major problems -- such as out-of-control surveillance and tracking systems and the formation of renegade bands of technology "refuseniks" -- will accompany technology advances by the end of the next decade."
