Something that allows us to do nearly everything we do now without the danger to sites of being hacked into. That's why I just don't see the current Internet as being able to handle such. As it stands right now if too many people go to a single site at the same time that site can go down just from the traffic. But eventually it will happen.

The problem with a future internet where hacking "can't" happen is that requires control by a large government, corporate or other type of organized body. And it'd be too easy for such a regulator system to be abused to no end.

Did you get that story published?

No, too many science fiction magazines won't give breaks to unknown unpublished authors. Ironic considering that's how most authors
use to get their lucky break and become known. Asimov's Sicence Fiction Magazine won't accept anything unless you have an agent.
"You mean I gotta shell out 15% of $450 just to get into your magazine? Do you fuckers not know why Asimov started this magaine in the first fuckin' place?"
Plus, with the shift to political, tell-all and
Oprah Bookclub 
books artificially narrowing the market science fiction is getting squeezed out regardless of higher-than-ever demand for it. FUCKERS!!
