Headline: The Internet is mankind’s first attempt at creating a non-carbon based lifeform

Nutshell: The Internet, still in its infancy, will grow up to become a monster that is constantly feeding and processing information. Eventually, it will wake up and start making decisions for itself.

Vision:

After we wipe each other out, the Internet will continue to thrive. The Internet will continue to our search for life on other planets and eventually make contact. The aliens will then steer clear or blow us up because they know they are dealing with a giant monster on a dead planet.
