The Networker

FIVE years ago, I had a conversation with a friend of mine - a very
eminent scholar who specialises in international relations. He looks
like someone out of central casting - grey hair, an absent-minded
bearing, with a penchant for elegant but crumpled corduroy suits. He
has an acute sense of history, and often seems to view everything from
an altitude of 30,000 feet. We were talking about the internet, and
the challenge it represented to the established order. I had outlined
what I saw as the amazing potential of the network to transform access
to information, make it impossible for governments and media
establishments to hush up scandals, undermine established
corporations, create new kinds of businesses which had hitherto been
inconceivable, etc, etc - in short, to change the world.
