There was a Web 2.0 seminar and discussion yesterday sponsored by KMDI and Habitat. More information from the publicity of the event here. I blogged about this directly from the seminar at my research group's blog.
It was interesting, very interactive. One of the things when I talked with one of the panelists afterwards, was that how the Internet and the Web is chaotic and a free for all. What may be required is an Internet or Web messiah or Christ-like figure that unites and advocates something like the Ten Commandments for the Internet. That really got me thinking, because if you think about it, the Internet and Web is experimental and we're making mistakes, we are in a state of Internet sin, if we make the analogy to the Bible. We need a resurrection, a hope, we are lost in the Web, we need a sense of direction and purpose. That works very much with my Catholic Christian faith, and the more I think about it, I very much agree with this.
What do others think? Do we need an Internet and Web Christ-like figure?
