The digital revolution may mean no shopping

Every age has its revolution. The Digital Age has just had its own: the Wikileaks affair.
How is this revolution shaping up? In the form of two contrary forces: one is expansive,
and it has to do with making everything public (as it happened with the US embassy cables). The antagonist force aims to cut the public from the information source, which in the case of the digital revolution means disrupting the sites of the incumbent parts. This was evident when Wikileaks activists attacked the global sites of MasterCard and Visa in revenge for the companies' decision to freeze all payments to the Wikileaks site.
This shows that in a globalized world the only way to make a revolution of global reach is to make it via the Internet. But nations are too small a battleground for a digital war. The perfect new target may be freezing global e-commerce instead, by preventing consumers from reaching the sites of multinational companies.
