We will build a global mind

The most profound impact of information technology has been to transfer the potential of the scientific method - the ever-expanding accumulation of knowledge - to the cultural sphere. Internet protocols allow us to link any two computers, enabling an explosive global network of networks and generating a worldwide cultural accumulation beyond imagination, available to anyone, anywhere. Our unprecedented ability to collect, generate, understand and communicate information means more sharing of knowledge and leads to more holistic views of our world. As the limitless virtual world becomes larger and more powerful, and access to information - the true catalyst for change - increases exponentially, so too do the opportunities.
