If someone asks a novo techie about the 'future of internet', he would only dream of seamless possibilities that internet can offer. However, this opinion may be in stark contrast to that of one of the world's best known and seasoned techies, Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google.

Liberal lefties are, in my opinion, all too quick to cry 'fascism' - much like the boy and his imaginary wolf - until, well... the wolf ceased to be imaginary, that is.

Yesterday, browsing the BBC website, knowing it was April Fool's Day, an article caught my eye that I couldn't believe would ever be possibly true. In it, I read that under a new legislation set to be announced soon, the government will be able to monitor the calls, emails, texts and website visits of everyone in the UK.

I loathe Anchorman, and dislike the majority of Ferrell's work. Christmas for me has become an annual struggle to avoid watching Elf. These opinions have often been met with incredulity, and are frequently followed by a relentless barrage of 'hilarious' quotations from the film in question. Unsurprisingly, this only exacerbates how I feel.

Clearer speed ads aren't just fairer. UK households have been slow to take up fibre products, stifling further investment in our infrastructure. If the ASA enforced rules which made clear the very real differences between the two technologies that might not be the case.

The mobile phone is unrecognisable in comparison to its original 'brick' form of the '80s. Of course, having the physical device stolen is a major inconvenience, but that is just one way criminals are monetising mobiles. Mobile malware, once theoretical, is now very much a reality and a growing threat.

The Underground to me, is a safe haven from everyday life.

So please - let's leave the Internet at the ticket hall.

Humans are likely to meet a dramatic evolution leap once Earth's population exceeds 10 billion, as estimated for the year 2100. This kind of evolution step will completely differ from any of the previous evolution processes on Earth, caused by different natural catastrophes, and may lead to a new era of human society and common consciousness on earth. The internet is just a small first step into this direction.
