The Internet will open worldwide access to opportunities for success. It will also open ways for many dysfunctionalities. Corporation-based cultural groupings may actually be one of the most destructive forces if not enough cultural, relational, and bottom-up social forces are built up. This does not detract from the prediction that a lot more people than today will have a good life through extensive networked collaboration. - Alejandro Pisanty, CIO for UNAM (National University of Mexico); vice chairman of the board for ICANN; member of United Nations' Working Group for Internet Governance; active in ISOC; internet user since 1977

Corporations and governments still will be wrestling with how to adapt to the common-man's technology. Corporations mostly will benefit by internalizing technology to create efficiencies of production and service. They will not have mastered how to adapt technology to a customer interface. If anything, a corporation's customer will become more independent and elusive for the corporation. Any corporate attempt to benefit by the collection of personal data will remain flawed. Government, however, will still be trying to figure out what all the x's and o's mean. Like the soon-to-be divorce, government will be the last to know.
