The Future is Now

Think about it: for millions of years, humanity's existence was filled with struggles: for survival, for social change, for dominance, and also for science. However, never before has science and technology had such dire significance for humanity.

I don't think anyone would try to argue that the internet has done more harm than good for humanity. The internet has completely revolutionized the way we live and access vital information, and it has come with its fair share of consequences, both positive and negative. Every day, the ways the internet is changing right before our eyes evolves and changes, affecting all of us as well.

All around the world, private industry and government agencies are racing to expand the availability of high-speed internet access to as many communities as possible. They're doing it because they've recognized that in the digital age, broadband internet access is as valuable to an economy as steam power and electricity were to the economies of the industrial revolution.
