I think that Kevin Kelly really makes an interesting point about how much has occurred on the web in only 5000 days. There is so much going on and so much information readily available that it would have been impossible for someone to even imagine 10 years ago. Its gotten to the point where the capacity of technology can match that of that of a human brain. The more interesting point is what will happen in the future. With technology having advanced to the point that it is at, imagine what advances the web could make. The fact that we are hearing things about creating a second internet is an example of how radical the changes have been. It really is hard to believe how many things have changed and how things that will continue to change. While I do think that there are some negatives to depending too completely on the internet, if it is more reliable for us, there really isn't anything wrong with us sticking with the most reliable way to do things.
