conclusion - excerpt :
*
*
*"A Call to Arms :*
*
*
*We have attempted to identify, in this short article, some of the key
challenges, opportunities, and strategies *
*involved in programming the emerging global brain.  Learning to do this
well is, perhaps, even more urgent *
*than many people realize.  Our world is faced with both existential
threats of unprecedented seriousness *
*(such as the environment) and huge opportunities (such as for scientific
and social progress).  We believe *
*that our ability to face the threats and opportunities of the coming
century will be profoundly affected by *
*how well, and soon, we can master the art of programming our planet’s
emerging global brain."*

A quote from the recent paper named "Programming the Global Brain"

As the scale, scope, and connectivity of these human computer networks

increase, we believe it will become increasingly useful

to view all the people and computers on our planet as constituting a kind

of "global brain."
