In the past 5000 day, the internet has evolved into what it is today. It has turned into this universal web place where users control it. We never thought Wikipedia would be what it is today with all of its information. Satellite images of the world seemed to be impossible before. Kevin Kelly refers to the web as one machine that runs without interruptions. It works like our brain, except the internet doubles every two years!
The second stage is linking. We cannot stop people from linking pages or linking to you. The third is linking pages. Every person or item will have a specific code which will link to something. The web will be able to read itself such as places.
Billions of social sites on the web. Kelly thinks you should only have to tell the web your personal information once, and then any other time, the web should be able to know your information.
It is just surprising to me that the internet has come as far as it has today and that we are still going farther in so far as trying to design the internet in a way that will understand us and know us personally. I don't know if I like this step in society. Personally, I don't want a computer knowing all of my information and becoming that dependent on technology.
