Headline: The final version of the internet
Nutshell: The internet will become the nightmare of telepathy.
Vision:The internet is mankind’s first step to telepathy. It is an unedited, uncensored stream of consciousness. While it looks cool at first glance, a deeper contemplation reveals the reality: who would want to know all the thoughts of their fellow human beings?
Unabated, unedited chatter lighting even the darkest corners of our collective psyche… The internet has already made hard porn and pedophilia familiar topics to people who would have hardly thought about these topics a few years ago.
Most major developments of the internet seem to take us further in this direction. More and more internet access, more and more widgets hooked up the internet. There will be fewer and fewer chances to drown out its deafening din.
