Stephen Downes

Note: corrected link. Lion Kimbro, who was so badly treated by my discussion system (sorry Lion), offers some long range predictions. Note well the section on 'the hive mind' - I think that something like this is very much likely to be the case. "2009: This is where people really start to go, 'Whoah... We're the Hive Mind...'CRLFIt should be a dominant theme in movies by this point." Wiki - so if you don't like his predictions, change them.
