Sorting through what social conventions we ought to adopt for the Internet is a pretty tricky and complicated topic. I think we are just going to live through a lot of these issues until we discover what social norms make sense.

We've never lived in an environment in which it has been so easy to capture information and share it. That fact that it is digital and easy to transmit exacerbates that. I don't know that we know yet what social norms we wish to adopt.

It doesn't matter if it's a wireless or wired network. I think network management can be introduced that is equally sensible.

I can't say I'm particularly happy about all the spam and the viruses and the equivalent that we see on the Net, but I think technology can deal with many of the problems that we're now seeing, whether it's filtering or whatever, and laws may help a lot.

The Internet lives where anyone can access it.

Global standards and interoperability are very powerful concepts. They drove the Internet, and they could drive the development of RFID. If we have a lot of incompatible things, their value will drop significantly.
