I really love the internet. They say chat-rooms are the trailer park of the internet but I find it amazing.

In a single generation, the Internet has given to virtually every person on the face of the earth the ability to communicate with fellow human beings on virtually any topic, at any time, and in every nook and cranny on the globe. This magnificent invention has done this without succumbing to government control.

The notion of the Internet as a force of political and social revolution is not a new one. As far back as the early 1990s, in the early days of the World Wide Web, there were technologists and writers arguing forcefully that the Internet was destined to become the most important tool for cultural change in human history.

The Internet has become important on the world's stage.

The Internet has changed the way we communicate with each other, the way we learn about the world and the way we conduct business.

You can't gaze in the crystal ball and see the future. What the Internet is going to be in the future is what society makes it.

The Internet has brought communities across the globe closer together through instant communication.

We are having Internet Governance discussions and meetings and a very large number of people are discussing the future of the Internet who have no clue as to what the Internet is except that it is important and that they have to be involved.

As children, many of us were taught never to talk to strangers. As parents and grandparents, our message must change with technology to include strangers on the Internet.

The internet could be a very positive step towards education, organisation and participation in a meaningful society.
