Nutshell: Our ability to make the internet a usable/useful source of information relies on our ability to create, manage and maintain the structure of the information on the internet.
Vision:Imagine a library with no shelves or Dewey Decimal System. Imagine that all the books are piled up in the center and the only way to find what you are looking for is to search for specific words or phrases contained within the book. That is the future of the internet unless efforts are made to organize.
Mind you this doesn’t mean censor, all "books" should be allowed in the "library." However we need to create order from the madness. Who knows what we will learn about ourselves when we are finally able to collect and order all of the data?
