The four scenarios
- The Global Village: Both people and companies want transparency and openness. Both parties trust the Internet and interconnected websites form one big 'Global Village' where people and companies interact intensively with one another.
- Ivory Towers in the Bazaar: Although people want transparency and trust the Internet, companies have raised their shields after they were "exposed" on the web. Virtual "merchants" appear and act as intermediaries between people and companies, filling the gap caused by peoplle wanting more than companies can offer.
- 1000 Islands: Both people and companies grow to distrust the Internet as peoplle feel vulnarable when placing their personal information online and companies face the consequences of governments regulation and restricting online activities. For people and companies, it is each for their own and disconnected "Islands" appear on the web.
- Desperate Salesmen in the Desert: People grow to distrust the web as they feel exposed online due to the lack of secure online IDs and governments using the web in policing and detective work. Companies have free access to vast amounts of user-information they obtain through the web and use to target people. However, people are reluctant to bite.
