I´m writing a futurist novel, and i have a problem. Do you think it would be posible to control internet- by the USA goverment, for example- in the future.I mean, to permit only censured informations. If posible, HOW?.And what about encriptation. I know this is a list about EJ, but you are the people well prepared to respond this I know. Sorry. Thanks in advance to all comentaries. Best regards roberto I have no idea about the technical possibilities but I do see that in Eumeswil the Luminar is definately restricted in use. In any case, are not large portions of the Internet already under private control, whether it is corporate, governmental or other powers. We might always be able to shop on the Net - they would never censure that - but in other realms, I can imagine your idea happening. The related consideration of privacy already subtly affects what I write in e-mail. I do not consider this paranoia at this stage - but in the future?
