It suddenly crossed my mind to wonder - given the recent surge in changes
in the Internet (sales etc.) - would there, _could_ there, be a "virtual
uprising" should these changes chart a course into areas that a
measurable number of netters don't like or agree with?
"Dan Rather here. It seems that a virtual sit-down strike has
paralyzed the Banking and Finance systems of the World. The
scruffy group known only as 'The Net' has sent a list of virtual
demands to the White House via e-mail. No return address was given,
just an insistence that all replies be posted to alt.hackers"
Brave New World, indeed!
