As much as I hate this, I can see an Internet license being the norm in the next 10-20 years, just as driver's licenses became the norm in the 1910's. Imagine logging on with your Internet license and then not having to enter passwords for forums and other social networking sites, and not having to enter credit card info when online shopping. Most people would love that. They don't care much about privacy anymore.
Yep, the Sheeple LOVE 'convenience'. Sugar coat it enough, they'll eagerly buy and proudly wear the chains of slavery.......
