This paper may be read as a sequel to a 1995 paper, published in this journal, in which I predicted what sort of transformations and problems were likely to affect the development of the Internet and our system of organized knowledge in the medium term. In this second attempt, I look at the future developments of information and communication technologies and try to estimate what their impact on our lives will be. The forecast is that, in information societies, the threshold between online and offline will soon disappear, and that once there is no difference, we shall become not cyborgs but rather inforgs, that is, connected informational organisms.
