We are already seeing unintended consequences in the information age that are dominating intended ones and there are good reasons to expect more in the future. Thus, the  technologists  are unlikely to be accurate and the  inventors  may neither have their intended effects nor be the most important determinants of information age progress. It will be

Kim Dotcom to launch Megaupload successor | The Australian Kim Dotcom to launch Megaupload successor From: AAP  January 18, 2013   5:50PM Increase Text Size Decrease Text Size Print INTERNET tycoon Kim Dotcom will launch a new file-sharing site at his Auckland mansion on Sunday, exactly a year after armed police arrested him at the same venue in the world's largest online piracy case.
