This list is dead. Either people didn't fully understand the potential of p2p networks or the need for it got magically sublimated into everyday capitalism. Nah.
But what happened to the revolution? Where are the nerds and cyberpunks who wished to change the world? Have they assimilated with their billion-dollar IPO jobs and climbing the new curve of exponential growth? The Internet under the standard client-server model has turned everyone, one again, into consumers. The curve of GDP has gotten higher with its new access to these elite tools. But it's a sinking ship. Everyone knows this, deep down. An adult's cellular network generally becomes hierarchical with some sort of strict immune system code at the top, holding dominant beliefs about the world forming a sort of religious order which is called their "ego". People come to identify with this and protect it. A child's cellular network acts more like a p2p network -- each is equal in a mind that has no religion. The attitude is "whatever works" and, internally, "whoever can do the job". Everyone else will protect themselves -- you don't need hierarchies of security, political correctness, or whatever new religion the world is demanding. Be like the child.
