The Next 5000 Days of WWW

Okay. I still remember I have promise to update my blog everyday and today is the second day. (I almost miss it actually :p ) So here you go. I found this interesting presentation video done by the famous Kevin Kelly predicting the future of World Wide Web. It is indeed an enlightenment to me.

Some background on the presentation. Internet which grew from just one computer pinging another has only 5000 days of history (at the time the video is recorded) and the World Wide Web has gone so far until today where almost everything links to the internet. Data are transferred among networks, communications are done all around the world, billions of dollars being transacted. Just 5000 days the World Wide Web has already “embedded” into our lives and we cannot actually live without it. So what do you think what will happen in the next 5000 days? Yup the video will tell you about that.

Some background on the presenter. Kevin Kelly is the editor of Wired Magazine. His background is too long for me to elaborate here but one thing, he is a great man. He wrote many books and one of it, I cannot remember what’s the name already but you can check from wikipedia, is the reference for the screen play of The Matrix Trilogy. No wonder I find his concept is a bit similar with The Matrix. Also, the presentation here is kinda related to the movie Wall-E. If you still remember, people live in the spaceship, cannot walk and never touch each others hand before. The communications and chemistry between human can only be done through computer and etc. It is kinda same thing here you think deep enough.

Okay enough crap, here is the video. Hope you will like it.
