Chapter 2 Of The New Digital Age

Chapter 2 of The New Digital Age focuses on the future of our virtual world, and how rapidly the virtual world is growing compared to even Earth's population. It also speaks of a more policed internet system, one which governments will want to know who is posting what and what they are saying. It only makes sense as the virtual world is growing so fast, and it is getting more and more scary what people can do on the internet. Also, chapter 2 speaks of the data revolution, and how beneficial the internet and virtual world will be to us as citizens. If used the right way the virtual world has unlimited amounts of potential to bring to citizens because you can get tons of information for free. Unlimited amounts of information, at the touch of a button, that is what we have and will continue to have as the virtual world continues to grow. It also speaks of our online identity and how the world will be able to see most things going on in our lives do to the virtual world, and how periods of our lives will be frozen in time online for all to see for a long period of time, if not forever. The virtual world holds nothing but opportunity to grow, and that can be either a scary or a great thing.
