That last one is kinda inevitable. The internet, even the spied centralised version we see at Facebook and Gmail, has a flattening effect: for the first time in recorded History, people can write. And other people respond to them. Even the printing press failed to achieve that —mostly.

Sure, there are bubbles and such, but there no escaping the fact that public forums train people in public debates. This will have a political effect.

Now I can only hope the transition will not be too bloody.
