As in the case of the Industrial Revolution the new technology will operate important social transformations. Its most important effects are the empowerment of individuals and the coordination of masses.
One of the most important characteristics of the new technology is that it enhances coherence throughout society in knowledge, intentions or goals, and actions. In other words, it acts as a catalyst which sums forces from an arbitrarily large pool of independent actors. This particular aspect asymmetrically benefits the multitude to the detriment of a tyrannical government.
Economical and political power will be transfered from the few to the many.
