Embracing the Future of the Internet
Core Questions• What exactly is the internet for / What does it do?
• Who manages and controls it?
• What are the possibilities it could create?
• Is it a “core engine of human progress” - the “steam engine” of
the 21st century? (WEF)
• How might it integrate into our lives?
• Will it transform into a technology we take for granted and put it
(and ourselves) at risk of obsolescence?
• What would we do without it?
• Who needs protection in it / from it / better/fairer access to it?
• Whose voice is it?
