Stephen Hawking predictions of 2017
The catastrophic consequences of the non-Neutral Net
Stanford's Futurity interviews Stanford Law expert Ryan Singel and
International Studies expert Didi Kuo about the meaning of a non-Neutral
internet, and the pair make an excellent and chilling point about the
subtle, profound ways that Ajit Pai's rollback of Net Neutrality rules
to pre-2005 levels will distort and hobble the future internet.
The Pai rules allow ISPs to block rival services, but the real impact is likely to be much more subtle (and thus harder to spot in the moment and stop while there's still time).

The term "fake news," first used to describe news stories that
contained deliberately false information, is today thrown around as a
way to discredit any news coverage people don't like. Fake news has been
around for hundreds of years, but the term picked up steam over the past year in a heated political climate where people cast doubt on any story that doesn't agree with them.But the Theresienstadt camp—a hybrid Jewish ghetto–Nazi labor camp in what is today the Czech Republic—was the ultimate fake news story of 1944 and shows just how much the term has changed. Because while many of the stories accused of being "fake news" in 2017 are based on facts, Nazi propaganda was deliberate deception and pure theater.
