The Internet is now our new party line. Soon, all 7.5 billion of us can join in this global conversation. And this is how it should be, a new world technological democracy. We shall have smartphones enough. We shall have multiple technological ways of of hooking up each to all others. We shall realize, truly, that we are one community, that we are all one, all members of one big and growing family of humankind. Realizing our oneness, we will defeat all efforts of any sort--ethnic, economic, political, and all others--to divide us, to separate us. We all shall be Citizens of Earth. Dictators, tyrannts, despots will no longer exist, because we all are one. Citizens of Earth will govern Earth. And at last, there will be Peace on Earth, forever.
