The Baha'i Studies Listserv 'A mechanism of world inter-communication will be devised, embracing the whole planet, freed from national hindrances and restrictions, and functioning with marvellous swiftness and perfect regularity.'
I've heard Baha'is say this prophecy has already been fulfilled by the internet. While I'm pretty sure it refers to the internet, has it really been entirely fulfilled yet? Freed from national hindrances? China bans a lot of sites. North Koreans don't have much access yet. Marvellous swiftness? I've heard a lot of complaining about broadband speeds in various places. I think few would agree that the internet functions with marvellous swiftness everywhere.
