Creation the new power

Information is power and the few wish to control it. That is what I believe, however with the invent of the internet it is impossible. I think the new power will be creation, what you can make from this new found information. You would think infinite possibilities would exist, I mean anything you need to know is right here. Instead people trade ideas in virtual worlds and create virtual things. What if we started to take this information and create real inventions? I thought 2010 would be the age of hover cars, transporters and we would have at least colonized the moon. Seriously what happen to creation.
