Two things that I have personally had to deal with are ISPs and Security issues. So, although I'm not technically savvy enough to achieve these, I'd want to create some architecture where there won't be a profit-hungry ISPs (don't know how that would work, but it's a wish); and I would have it built in a way that freedom/privacy are much more protected than they are right now.

So, yeah. Things that are kind of unachievable seeing our human history, and society, but one can always hope :)

I think I would have made better choices for domain names. No country specific ones, but .xxx for sure to divide out the porn into its own easily blocked (or easily found) domains. I'd have tried to create a domain naming convention that would make it easier to find things. Domains like .search, .info, in addition to the .com, .edu. Now, it takes a committee too much time (and probably too much payola) to develop these. Also, there is inertia towards not changing things.

I think I would also have tried to embed security into email to minimize spoofing and into web pages to minimize phishing. Of course, social engineering is very difficult to make idiot-proof.

1. The first thing is to get W3C and ICANN work together in order to make Internet has its own standard.
2. Try to reduce teh digital divided in developing countries.
3. Set up the human rights organisation for the internet.
