Cyberspace is defined and delineated first and foremost by its content. And its future depends not on our ability to police it, but rather upon what we collectively build there that is of real public assistance and social value.
Predictor: Schremp, Rick
Prediction, in context:In a 1995 article for the journal Government Technology, Blake Harris takes a look at the future of the Internet, quoting Rick Schremp of the University of Colorado. Harris writes: ”No one can really say what cyberspace will look like in 25 years. That’s because it is like a new land that has only begun to be settled – or rather created. For cyberspace is defined and delineated first and foremost by its content. And its future depends not on our ability to police it, but rather upon what we collectively build there that is of real public assistance and social value.”
