the future of the internet.
The internet is the closest thing to infinity we can reach in the modern world. Its possibilities are endless and the entire range of the concept cannot be grasped. Perhaps this is because the internet is controlled behind closed doors, by a certain group of all-powerful business executives, as suggested by Aaron in his article. These closed doors he says, lead to censorship and executive control of something that is supposed to be equally veiwed by all. Aaron also discusses America's poor progress compared with other nation's internet services, and attempts to overhaul the system. Both of these concepts fall short of finding a solution in this article, maybe as a result of the vastness that is the internet. The concept of controlling something that large and flexible seems almost impossible. Whether or not the public or an executive few try to control it, the internet is alway quickly changing and adapting to new concepts and ideas. Why try to control it? The focus should move away from control, censorship, and regulations, and focus solely on advancement of technology in order to better benefit consumers. That is the purpose of a market economy anyway, let's not forget the basis of our country's industry.
