So the Control Freaks hope.

They hate the Internet because it’s exposing their criminal behavior that they could easily hide in the past.

Schmidt is one evil, nasty SOB. I shudder to think about the plots and schemes that probably go through that guy’s head on a typical day.

If the affirmative action President has his way and the Internet is taxed and regulated by the government, it will disappear.

I always go under the rule of thumb that we tend to greatly overestimate what will be done in the short run, and greatly underestimate what will be done in the long run. I don’t think the interesting future he describes will occur for decades, but when it does, it will far exceed our current expectations. The short run will be dominated by less impressive, but in many ways more important, changes to the foundation level of computing.

I think Google is going to try and become the ATT of the Internet.
This is why Obama is pushing the new security laws.
