- Teh Internets… -
The internet developed because we as a society/race have too much information. It cannot fit in our heads, so we need to make it external to ourselves.
This means two things:
1) Ability to sort, find, and use information will become far more important that accumulated knowledge
2) Power will be based on the ammount on information one has available, and the accuracy of that information. However, information is not as easily kept as is money or weapons. Information, especially because of the internet, is very very easy to give, and very very hard to keep. The best tactic is to send out disinformation, to keep the real information from being found. Mental junk food, to weaken the mental body.
But then, power is only strength if it is shared.
