The internet we have is a bit like the mind we derive at any moment; it is not so much an object ( or possession ) as the outcome of our intentional and habitual invocations of vast array of potentials. It is not ‘what it is’ so much as what we purpose it to become, and this it will become rapidly. Now, granting this, the question seems to be something like this: are we ( or can we quickly become ) intelligent enough to know what to ask this to become? Because if we do not, you can bet that our shadow will. I mean has. And does. Right now.
