Internet is a network of networks which work together in an egalitarian manner.
It is like an invocation of a faith and a belief that Internet, above all, will greatly influence the new millennium. Internet, as a philosophy, has the seeds of a new society for this troubled world of ours. I am not going to talk of Internet technology. Technology is what all those wonderful nerds and geeks, like Marc Andreessen, do on a daily basis, continuing to push the envelop at a formidable pace, now being called Internet time, not years, not months, but weeks. Java, not the brew from Indonesia but the ubiquitous language of the microprocessor developed by Sun Microsystems, and the Jini connection technology based on Java, have opened up a whole new world of interdependent and networked global economy by providing the tools that will take the networks out to marketplace where people are.
