Every second, a Library of Congress worth of data flows through it. The program it runs — its initial OS — is the World Wide Web.
But the Machine also includes us. After all, our brains are programming and underpinning it. As much as we will come to depend on the One Machine (who needs memory when you've got Google?), it will depend on our minds for a sustaining river of input. We are headed toward a singular destiny: one vast computer composed of billions of chips and billions of brains, enveloping the planet in a single sphere of intelligence.

Net neutrality becomes all the more important then. So this megacomputer ends up a product of human creativity & imagination, rather than a cash cow.
