In significance to communications, the advent of the Internet is comparable to the invention of moveable type and the printing press 500 years ago. What the Guttenburg Bible and its progeny has given the world in the printed Word, the Net can replicate in the visual Word.

But it does mean that information has become more accessible to more people than before. Secrets now are harder to keep.
