I found this report exceptionally interesting, useful and enjoyable! It's true I still did not finish reading the whole paper (it's 115 pages in total!), but it's just because of a great mess with VoIP clients migration at the office:)
A survey of technology thinkers and stakeholders shows they believe the Internet will continue to spread in a “flattening” and improving world. There are many, though, who think major problems will accompany technology advances by 2020.
“Hundreds of Internet leaders, activists, builders and commentators were asked about the effect of the Internet on social, political and economic life in the year 2020. The views of the 742 respondents who completed this survey were varied; there is general agreement about how technology might evolve, but there is less agreement among these respondents about the impact of this evolution”.
