It is 2005, the internet is a distributed network of servers designed so that no one outage can take down the entire network
It is 2025, the internet relies on three companies, problems with any one of which can cripple a significant proportion of the global economy

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing
