Perhaps the biggest unanswered question of all concerns the ethical use of the Internet, and how we allow the freedom that the Internet has offered us, whilst protecting the vulnerable and preventing abuse.

For example, current debates are discussing the role of the Internet in the increasing number of convictions relating to child pornography. Is the Internet facilitating this increase? Or is it increasing the rate of convictions because it allows the participants to be traced more easily? This leads us into questions of anonymity and privacy: It's now very difficult to be completely anonymous on the Internet, though it often feels as though we are. We have also sacrificed this anonymity (through government legislation) to allow this level of protection.
