Q: When
on the Web are you still a Frenchman or a Bolivian?
A: No.The Net has changed the world, creating the first cyber-citizens.
Cyber-citizens are people whose personal network

will create generations of cyber-citizens who “Think
globally, act locally” on just about every aspect
of their personal and public life.
For some, the Internet is the perfect globally
accessible public space to “Sit
down and work things out.” They see much of history’s tragedies as
impacted by late or false or misinformation. For
them, the instantaneous, “right now” access
to global information enables humans to make informed decisions which
were impossible in the pre-Internet world.
For the Non-Sacred Secularist, the Internet's cyberspace
