The internet has been increasingly fragmented into different zones, such as the American, European, and Indian internets. This fragmentation trend is accelerating, and traditional sources of power are seeking to control and contain the internet. The year 2016 served as a turning point, where the internet became taken for granted, and its downsides started to be critically examined. There is a struggle to put the internet back in a box, with countries like China successfully keeping out the Western internet. The race now is whether other countries like Russia, Iran, Turkey, India, and Brazil can do the same. While some are attempting to do so, recreating the Chinese internet is proving difficult. The struggle for the next 35 years will likely revolve around the race to either balkanize the internet or preserve its openness.
