19. The internet is not going any where.

20. British social critic, Stephen Fry, who likens the Internet to a city, and therefore migration to the internet as akin to urbanization. “ The internet is a city and, like any great city, it has monumental libraries and theatres and museums and places in which you can learn and pick up information and there are facilities for you that are astounding - specialized museums, not just general ones. But there are also slums and there are red light districts and there are really sleazy areas where you wouldn't want your children wandering alone. And I think people must understand that about the internet - it is a new city, it's a virtual city and there will be parts of it of course that they dislike, but you don't pull down London because it's got a red light district. ” (Fry, 2009)
