With bated breath, we waited two full months for Pew Internet's latest insight into the online community. Finally, Pew slapped the Web with a 115-page glimpse into the future confirming what Hollywood's been telling us for the past 20 years: we're all screwed.
Pew's survey of internet leaders, activists, and analysts paints pretty much the same picture of the world in the year 2020: Robots are in charge of the world government once humans are implanted with RFID chips and are bereft of true privacy or independence; There will be "cyberpsychiatrists" helping humans cope with their new connected environment; But there will also be small rebel factions that become the new Amish by rejecting these advances, partly by returning to rotary dial telephones and partly by blowing up everything they can get to, disrupting the new "flattened" global economy. But television will be a whole lot better. Thanks
