In a worst-case scenario for the InterNet by 2010, the result is complete chaso. Cheer up! We likely will not reach that state, because long before then we will have suffered a 'Digital Pearl Harbor' that will show how severely we need to change. Exactly what the nature of this will be is a matter of some debate -- but we won't like it, whatever it is. One of the major casualties of the disaster will be innovation, and another will be privacy.
I really can't argue much against these predictions -- they sound all too plausible.
