"Internet creates messages"

“The Internet as an electric medium creates the message.” In the next ten years Internet itself would create, store and transmitt information supported by participants as if media itself is a living organism. This can be happened as follows.

The significant reduction of cost of Internet useage enhances Internet penetration in developing countries and increses number of In ternet partcipants. Because of the popularization of Internet in emerging markets, cultural diversity of participants increases a lot which results in increase in variety of contents. Because of the immoral behavior on Internet and increase of unfriedly contents to the gorvernments, governments from developed countries like the U.S.A, Canada, Australia, European countries and Japan try to regulate contents. However, collaboration of creation on Internet blew off regulation and peple start to lose control of contents.

As a result, information grows organically and self-sustainingly while people might lose control in the process of information creation. In this situation, nobody would know what would be a result of creation, storage and trasmission of information even though everybody is involoved in the process.

This process would be a next genereation of human beings or be a new brain of human beings over one’s individual brain capacity.
