Al Gore invented the internet to fight off Manbearpig and global warming.

Good to be back.
Humm better internet okay...as long as they develop their new shit witout taking down the one we have right now...and when their things is up and running good then swap em!
Big business is gonna fund it. which means they'll figure out a way to charge you every damn penny to use "thier" internet.
NO!
The beauty of the Internet is that it is just a mess of facts and observations/opinions for anyone to stumble onto. Search engines are tools to allow you to navigate, but there should not be an attempt to 'streamline' or 'clean up' the Internet. If they need to address security issues, fine, but no need to 'scrap the Internet.'
Honestly, I can easily say that the (modern) Internet is by far the best creation of my lifetime. Imagine 3000 years ago, when the exchange of information took months/days/years. Now we have people from across the world making statements, and within seconds numerous people have expounded upon/agreed with/disagreed with/refuted those statements. It truly is amazing!

Ahaha, like that would ever happen. the 'new and improved internet' will probably have a million bugs and probably 10% more secure or something, plus the effort, money and time it would take.
New slate? Fuck that, gimme better wires and cheap fatpipe broadband.
What the fuck's the internet?
So much money would be lost during the time they switch if they do. Well I doubt Washington DC will last very long.
Maan, Alpha Centauri is right on the mark today.
'As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.'
