[quote:Anonymous Coward 0:MV8yMTcyMzExXzM2NzMwMDY5XzQwM0NEQzAx] I'm with Danny Hillis a million percent. He remembers the days when the internet was pure and all about communication, simply put. He registered the third ever domain name. THIS MAN GETS IT. He gets it. I have been talking about this for a while... Everyone seems to think it's so impossible. Well ALL OF OUR ENERGY problems would have been completely UNHEARD OF today if Tesla's technology would have been allowed by TPTB. Not to mention all of our communication problems... There'd be no need for those stupid fucking wires under the ocean to connect us all through the 'grid'. When are you people going to fucking understand. [/quote]

"What we need is a plan B... there is no plan B right now, there's no clear backup system that we very carefully kept to be independent of the internet . . . what we need is something that doesn't necessarily have the performance of the internet . . . this doesn't need to be a multi-billion dollar government project. It's actually relatively simple to do technically because it can use existing fibers that are in the ground, existing wireless infrastructure.
It's basically a matter of deciding to do it.
"
THANK YOU, Danny Hillis and TEDTalks FOR PUTTING THIS OUT THERE... THE TRUTH. WE NEED A NEW COMMUNICATIVE MEDIUM.
