The Real Revolution of the Net

It's in the air. After two hundred years Montesquieu, a century Pillarisation and at least five decades of media doctrine.

The revolution of the internet. These are my rough thoughts of what it eventually means:

The end of the entire political system, bureaucracy, country borders... Actually, everything a todays government deals with.

It's the beginning of a peaceful, transparent world. With pure democracy world-wide.

But as always with evolving technologies, there need to be innovative ideas.

Well, it's in the air. Loads of clouds with great ideas of what to do with the net. Once in a while, when there's enough people filling the cloud, they don't stop their rain droppings, which are functioning as baits, and get more peers to join the cloud.

Question is, when can the world really harvest the fertilized fields - when is the next revolution?

We probably won't need a revolution as the French's, since that one gave the people some democracy. However, the 'bourgeoisie' is kind of indoctrinated by the politics, religions, and the media over the past two centuries. There are still too many people who believe it's the responsibility of those parties to get the internet to the next level (if they even think about the influencing future of the internet).

It's because they grew up with it. The French used to have king Louis XVI leading the country, Iraqi citizens had Hussein doing that and Turkmenistan's leader Niyazov is still indoctrinating five million people. But, how is George Bush a better leader for America? More than half of its citizens is against the war on Iraq. But only ones in every four years, there's one new opponent to choose with the elections. There's no democracy in the US. Not one country has pure democracy. Power to the people, it means, but the power is still in hands of the political internal relationships, religions which provoke party propaganda, and media like Fox or state media.

But fact is the world as we know it is going to change dramatically.

Six billion people who instantly interact with one another can constantly develop the world really, really fast; revolution after revolution. Some call it peers production.

I'm going to develop my thoughts here on pure democracy, how (web) technology can make this happen in a very convenient way, and how we can accomplish it the best.
