Global Brain

The internet has changed the way people interact, this is no secret. Just look at internet phones and social networks. For the large majority of time all of the human bands, tribes, chiefdoms, kingdoms, etc. were completely unaware of the actual extent and dispersion of all other humans on the planet. Today we are not only aware of each other, but we are able to build and maintain social groups with each other regardless of geography. As long as you have access to the Internet, you have access to almost everything the human mind has produced. What an amazing thought. This leads me to the next question: where is the internet going to be in the next couple years or decades? The more information that it has, it will be able to model and eventually predict events or behaviors. This is taking intelligence to a completely new level.
