From the Paper:

"The world we live in today is either a global village or a global chaotic mess, depending on who you ask. The way we talk, think and act has changed dramatically in the last ten, even twenty years. What used to require a physical presence of the parties involved now requires only an access to an appropriate technology that provides the medium and serves as a messenger of old. Nowadays, we no longer need to see in order to interact, no longer to hear to talk or be somewhere to experience something."
