Good point.

The internet will likely be split in multiple dimensions. Nations will split off. Companies obviously have an incentive to split off. We can see it being split up, for example, racially and along gender lines. Etc etc etc.

And in the final analysis, maybe that's just the flawed component in the architecture of the internet. Humans.

It likely wouldn't matter how easy a technology makes it for us to talk and communicate with each other, most of us will just use said technology to beat each other over the head.
