Mike Downey: Trust is involved with almost every aspect of the internet. He says we have to decide if we trust corporations, other users and ourselves. In 1964, 77% of Americans would say they trust the government all or most of the time; now fewer than 1 in 5 will do so. "Miss Trust" was a reaction to working at MIT's Center for Civic Media on social change.
