To me it's more a sociological problem than technological. Also networks have changed.. somehow the decentralization idea is spreading fast. For ideological, technical, cost .. or other reasons. Some people start neighborhood wireless networks etc.

It also seems to me that internet has somehow became a middle man and is not providing human deep enough interactions, especially outside chat-like website (basically any exchange, business)..

I could envision a whatsapp like system with quality control for producers and transparent transaction/tracking/accounting management offered by the network so people spend less time on side-loads and just focus into helping each others and doing what they need to.
