A New Internet ?

Interesting article in New York Times over the weekend. 

Do we need a new internet?  There clearly are major security risks, and believe it or not, we are probably lucky that we haven't had more attacks on the internet.

The idea of a "gated community" is an interesting one.  If you want the security you give up your anonymity while browsing.  Would you be willing to do so?  I would.  I know there will be many privacy advocates that will protest loudly.  But the choice would be yours, in essence you would pick which internet you wanted to access.

There is a ton of effort going on to make the internet safer, one small step at a time.  And these are worthwhile efforts.  But to really fix the problem we will have to think out side of the box.  A better firewall or virus protection program won't solve the problem.  If you can write a program to protect something, someone else can write a program to break it.

What other ideas do you have?  And what should we call this next generation of the internet?

we need locks on all gates! on the isp side, on the server side, on the end-user side.
internet is sometimes like a nuclear bomb and it should be restrained but not censured!

Plantar fasciitis or inflammation of the plantar fascia comes about when the plantar fascia suffers microscopic tears at the point where it joins to the heel bone, or along its length.

If you want to buy real estate, you would have to get the credit loans. Furthermore, my brother all the time utilizes a consolidation loan, which supposes to be really useful.

Every one admits that our life seems to be not very cheap, nevertheless different people require money for different issues and not every one earns big sums money. Thus to receive fast personal loans and just secured loan will be a proper solution.
