TED Talk Jonathan Zittrain: The Web as random acts of kindness
This is an great TED talk about the concept that the internet is made up of infinite acts of kindness. He goes into many examples of how people work to make the internet model survive with absolutely no motivation outside of the fact that they believe in the cause and want it to work.
I completely agree with everything he talks about. The internet is an example of Utopian society where by virtue of having no actual rules, people will naturally create their own set of rules and standards and even enforce those rules for the better good of everyone. Rules truly created by society itself have ownership by society, and in turn are respected by society.
This is a must watch for all the cynics out there who think that everyone in society is just out for themselves.
