I like the word "Netizens". I think the existence of the word shows a bit of something important happening. 34% of the earth's population uses the internet. They are an interconnected group who are participating in humanity's biggest project, using the internet for all sorts of purposes. Maybe that means that we will come to understand and value each other a little more and a little more intelligently. Hope so.
