Think about it. A
network of voluntarily-connected networks changed the course of history in a
matter of decades because people agreed to work and innovate together. It’s a
deeply profound source of inspiration about the power of humankind.

It practically begs the question: can we replicate even a portion of its success by embodying the “the Internet way” of working in North America?

Die Untersuchung solcher Fragen erfordert häufig extremen technischen Aufwand – wie kilometerlange Teilchenbeschleuniger am europäischen Forschungszentrum CERN oder riesige Teleskope für die Astronomie.
