It's possible that something like the "Internet" never happens again. By which I mean a somewhat distributed collaboration built on open protocols without a series of large entities (companies or countries) capturing the majority of the market value. Whether future developments are "better" or "worse" is immaterial. Things will unfold as they are. Humans fundamentally make choices that reflect their values and biases. They can choose to: build, consume, get scammed, be vigilant, etc. I am certain that it will be interesting to witness and participate in the new world. What a time to be alive.
