States are going to have to organizationally adapt to this. They will now have two foreign policies and two domestic policies: one for the physical world and one for the cyberspace. And they wont always look the same.
Cohen and I are chatting via a webcam through the medium of a Google Hangout. Were discussing The New Digital Age, a book he has recently co-written with the executive chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt.
As an additional five billion people come online in the next decade, both authors advise on how they think states should prepare for this seismic shift in the geopolitical landscape.
They ask important questions like: How will states continue to operate in both the cyber and physical world? And can technology assist third world countries to improve their economies?
The book presents an interesting, if somewhat biased argument: tilting slightly in favor of the global corporate culture where both authors interest lie.

He explains how extremist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah potentially stand to gain more popularity in the coming years, through the use of technology.
This would be done, he says, by aiding the local population through the use of smart-phones-apps, which would offer services like health-care and mobile money exchanges.
