    Google CEO Eric Schmidt: Ten years ago, the culture in our country really felt
    very uniform. When the Internet began, I remember being struck by how much the
    world was not the way we thought it was, that there was infinite variation in
    how people viewed the world. There will be a million weblogs of communities that
    are very distinct and don't favor one political party or one particular view of
    life. The creationists will have theirs and the people who are non-creationists
    will have theirs. My argument ten years ago was that the Internet was created to
    provide enough fodder for people to get PhDs in anthropology again. Previous
    PhDs have studied every known society. So we just invented a thousand more. Now
    people are surprised to find out that there's evil in the world. In fact there's
    plenty of evil in the world. In many ways, the Internet allows you to target bad
    things and decide what you want to do with them. I believe that these issues
    around 'good' and 'bad' will become the defining issues of how information is
    accessed.
