The age of information. That's the era that we are living in. The time where data means everything to an economy, government and country. Every data has to be received and sent fast and accurate.

The industrial revolution has long gone and remnants of it will soon be deem obsolete. The current information revolution has had governments vying for the top in the area of technology. Everyone is building a superhighway for information. Data manipulation generates money for the economy without harming any natural resources (not directly, at least). In this point of time, it seems that more money is equivalent to more power. Having the best technology and infrastructure will generate income as it will attract foreign investors.

SO, how can this turn into something political? Think about it. Everyone starts directing their attention to data mining and data manipulation, and the next world superpower might be the nation that has the best technology and infrastructure as having the best technology and infrastructure will enable a country to invent more machines, weapons, and discover new things.


Anything could happen.
