Stolfi trying to argue the internet has less impact than French Revolution, World War II, or the end of Apartheid... almost as bad as Richy trying to persuade us the world doesn't need roads.
Seriously Richy is correct, roads and almost all the new world Infrastructure is a result of thinking based of a misunderstanding, it's not that we need or don't need them or think paying tolls are unjust. It's just they may not be as relevant as you think if you correct the original misunderstanding and build from a base of free market and mutual cooperation.
As for the internet it is the typically quintessential information technology of the new age in civilization (well it's nothing without Bitcoin) it changes everything that has shaped our world. Well illustrated by Balaji Srinivasan:
