It is necessary to try Starting from the 1960s, ARPANET researchers used an open "Request for Comments" or RFC process to share feedback in early network protocols which led to the birth of the Internet in 1969. Studying the history of engineering and the early ages of humanity it is easy to understand how the time required for society to define and adopt a more efficient solution is one preponderant term that influences the pace of technological growth.

Today we mostly pay an organization to be connected and share many aspects of our life. The aspects we don't want to share are often collected and leaked by our phones, televisions or smart coffee machines. Many are saying that our data is gathered to be potentially used against us in future. Now society seems more aware of many downsides of the medium it depends on.

As always, people who owned the technology have been able to influence, limit and coherce readers with filtered content. Today, who owns internet? Are we influenced, limited or coherced by it? Is humanity on the verge of a new medium revolution?
