"The Internet, an unprecedented driver of change, was a complete accident, and that seems more often the way of things. The Internet is the result of the unlikely marriage of a DARPA project and the nascent industry of desktop computing.

Emergent technology is, by it's very nature, out of control, and leads to unpredictable outcomes."p.61 "Distrust That Particular Flavor" by William Gibson
