While Kudos are in order once again for D and D collaborating on yet another document that history will record as a timeline event.

 I felt a sense of something missing and on rereading it came to me, nowhere do we talk about responsibility in the aspect of use.

 I am not talking about censorship or content or
cracking or spam/scams. Just plain old personal responsibity as an end user of the internet.

If a larger percentage of net users could just simply understand that with use comes responbility, as an end
of end, participants must be taught that there are responsibilies
to other ends of ends.

The implicit agreement of use of the Internet over time
must grow to and from a basic understanding of not just what the Internet is, but how one takes responsibilty for its health and well being, by understanding the personal responsibilty entailed in keeping ones connected systems or devices free from the ability to propagate the bad stuff that affects us all, viri, spam relays, etc ad nuaseum.

I tend to take a long range historical approach to most things and as a species we take our sweet time to actually
inbed anything on a globally consious level.

Lets explore the only three major species wide gains we have made, that although not yet complete and universal are becomming inbedded as education levels rise and global thought patterns adjust species wide.

The abolisment of slavery, well we have had a couple of hundred years to start to get our heads around this one
and for the most part even though slavery exists in many forms and places still, youre pretty hard pressed to see it enshrined
in constitional documents. A couple of hundred more years
we might see it eradicated..

The emmanciptaion and equality of women..again this is still in its early days, but I think globaly outside of a few religions and cultural case specific areas,It would be now generally accepted that women are no longer chattel or some how inferior to men.

A general awareness of planet earth, enviromental issues
are definately the new kid on the block and there uptake
does prove that we can grasp new concepts on a global scale
wether we chose to do anything about them..well the jury is still out and isnt comming back in anytime soon, barring a few global scale disasters, we probaly need a few more generations for any meaning full species wide understanding
of enviromental issues.

So there we have it for all our pretentions and history
to me the above three issues pretty well sum up all of our species accomplishments, everything else is isolated incidences of hope and despair.

So then we come back to the Internet and draw a loose paralel,

As an end of ends and as system for human knowledge tranference, this thing we call the Internet is by far our
greatest achievement yet.It can and does at its very least perhaps ramp up the speed of knowledge tranference.
I know it doesnt mean much yet to the billions who dont have access yet and maybe never will, but it does allow those of us who are connected in a manner never before acheived to begin to explore its potentialities.

Its chances of long term success and survival are indeed threatened by the same sort of basic specicies wide issues
as I am attempting to illustrate.

Slavery at is basis is power and controll, attempts at controll of the Internet by state or coporate state are nothing more than
the last ditch attemps of the same mindset that keeps
Slavery alive and well.

The fundemental notions of "ism's" have been at the heart
of all forms of discrimination and socail determinates
the Internet cares little for that and has for the first time allowed its conected portions of the human species to
interconnect with out fear of care of socail determinates

The enviroment of the Internet will only probably only survive as a true end of ends and like the enviromental
issues notion,if we collectively can come to an agreed understanding of what it is and again Doc and David
have hopefully raised that that awareness again.

The personal responsibility of use again like the real world
environment that the Internet perhaps mirrors would be well served if many of us quit deficating in water we all drink.
wether intentionaly or other wise.

So Doc and David maybe a few sentences on personal responsibity of the use of the Internet is complimentary
to other view pionts expressed in this document and would
help explain the what it is and isnt part.

great work again guys

How do we handle such items as ICANN and NetSol in regards to this subject?

These two groups seem to hold a significant amount of sway in how the internet works.

Now I realize that this is only in terms of the DNS system but for the majority of that 600,000,000 that are on the internet I am hazarding a guess that they use a browser to get around.

The DNS seems to be a perplexing concept of the Internet as you have to purchase a domain in order to participate. The industry surrounding this system is quite remarkable and does not get much attention other than to criticize ICANN or NetSol. I am interested to hear what people have to say about the registrars and the direct and reseller markets cropping up arond them.

Internet has merged the world togather. People across the countless boundaries have come much closer. The instant speed of email has left behind all the conventional communication channels like post or telegram which are now often termed as snail-mails. The induction of new technology in web designing and devlopement will revolutionize internet further.

Electronic slavery.Every new dettection equipment,all the sleazeball jews,hindus and other assorted trash from the NYC government.THEY SUCK.

"What makes the Net inter is the fact that it's just a protocol — the Internet Protocol, to be exact."

Isn't it "inter" because its an interconnected network?
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

Takayuki (/m109), yes, the "inter" is there because the Internet is a network of networks. But it's a network of networks because there's a protocol that allows networks to interoperate.
