This is possibly the most titillating article I’ve read on the future of the Internet since the early days of Web 2.0, circa 2004. I actually got chills reading it. No kidding, chills! Unfortunately, it also confirmed some of my beliefs regarding the current state of the Internet.

I recently read somewhere that, for this next generation, the Internet is the new television. What?!? That made me slightly depressed, considering the Web has the potential to change humanity in ways we can’t yet imagine — and can do an infinite amount more than just aggregate gossip and entertain the masses. Luckily for me, there are people in high places that share my convictions. Luckily for you, they’re a lot smarter than I am.

Enjoy!
