- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 04/30/2008, -1/+56False. It's no longer an infant. It's in its terrible 2.0's phase.
- LargeTrout, on 04/30/2008, -0/+15Clearly the web is not the only thing still in its infancy.
- o0joshua0o, on 04/30/2008, -1/+15Al Gore didn't mean he literally invented the Internet. He meant that he is the one who made it possible for ordinary citizens to have network access, by developing the High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991 (commonly referred to as "The Gore Bill")
- lnxfi, on 04/30/2008, -1/+14I just hope it stays at the current ratio of 1% educational/news, 9% pointless sites, 10% commerce and 80% porn.
- meruru, on 04/30/2008, -0/+12I'm scared of what it will be like in the rebellious teen years
- KibibyteBrain, on 04/30/2008, -4/+14What convinced you will only live to be 50. I would say anyone under 30 has a decent chance of living for 50 more years between medical advances and the current status quo lifespan. It is true that you might be too senile to know what you were looking at, though, or its significance...
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+10uhh.....perhaps he's 50+ years old now?
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+8Did you see his other comments?
The Greatest Hits of fudgeckes, Volume I:
"nig nog"
"he deserved it - what a dum dum, i mean C'MON"
"shut it"
and who could forget the classic: "sorry, that was really boring. I stopped reading after the first sentence, try harder next time, bum-breath"?
(I'm not making this up. Click on his epic name) - CarStan, on 04/30/2008, -0/+7take a look at 4chan and you might get an idea
- SonnyW, on 04/30/2008, -2/+9It'll still be filled with porn.
- badenglishihave, on 04/30/2008, -2/+9The original concept of the internet was not server (or, 'web') based. It was designed by the military to provide a means of communication even when several computers had gone down. Hence the internet was supposed to be more like P2P technologies.
I believe that the internet, not the web, is in its infancy. The WWW as we know it is becoming less important as P2P moves in. - CarStan, on 04/30/2008, -0/+7Judging by its current content it would be a stupid, porn-addicted retard, with the sole purpose to advertise oenise--enhancement products
- jayakamonty, on 04/30/2008, -1/+6I wish I was just born so I can live to see what the web will be like in 50 years time.
- l33tboi, on 04/30/2008, -0/+5He did "invent" the web. The US invented the "Network" that the "web" "runs" on. " : ) "
- IEatHamburgers, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4It will revolt against its parents. Basically, it will be SkyNet.
- Sendss, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5Breaking news: Things evolve!
- Yodacola, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5Response to my own comment: Tim Berners-Lee did develop the web browser and HTML, not the Internet. However, his web browser kinda sucked; enough for Mosaic and Netscape to take it's place. His good invention was the standards, which some are used to this day.
- TDot1980, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3Awww... Cute little Web-Infant... Goochie-goo!
- groone, on 04/30/2008, -1/+4I suppose when they start replacing the pipes and tubes with taught string it will be considered evolved...
- Bombfrog, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3Indeed, ARPA invented the "internet" , Berners-Lee invented something to put on it.
- Enkou, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3How do you teach string?
- skidooer, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3There is no room for advancement in the web because even in 20 years time, there will still be a large IE 6 user base.
- notoneofus, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3Have you ever made a semi-useful post?
- pault107, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3He's a troll:
http://zuubu.runhost.net/?username=fudgecakes&sele ... - inactive, on 04/30/2008, -1/+3When they get virtual reality sports games advanced to the point they are indistinguishable from the real thing, why not just do the real thing?
- CrispyOne, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2As a full fledged spelling and grammar corrections officer, this comment made me titter.
- Yodacola, on 04/30/2008, -1/+3How many inventors of the Internet are there? I thought ARPA invented the Internet, anyways.
- kelmaster1, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2Ya, the internet hasn't got to the stage where media is censored. They'll probably be another terrorist attack and claim that internet was the source of their information, then everyone will be stupid again and all those "extremist" sites will be banned.
- antdude, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2Or he has a medical issue that won't let him/her live that long?
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2Maybe it was more of a mystical statement and he meant he wished he was born for the sole purpose of seeing what the web will be like 50 years from now. He's probably unhappy he has all these other distractions in his life like career and family.
- Enkou, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2I think an earlier comment was that he invented the web as we know it, not the internet itself.
- FreeDerry, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1So why did You Digg it then?
FAIL - inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1dont feed the troll - or do ...your choice
- tiuk, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2Yeah, and you think people complain about lag now...
- Atomic1fire, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1I see it as an evolution from the web being the place for content
to the place for production of content and the improvement of content going from just seeing text and pictures to being able to manipulate images and create documents over your browser - Orion1004, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2Can't wait for the Intergalactic Web connecting with other ET civilizations -Now that would be hot!
- oldgal, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1"If we had put a price on it like the University of Minnesota had done with Gopher then it would not have expanded into what it is now.
"We would have had some sort of market share alongside services like AOL and Compuserve, but we would not have flattened the world."
Ahhhh, the web was born out of socialist ideology:) - Atomic1fire, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1He invented the http protocol, Html, and the first web browser known as the WorldWideWeb
(if I understand it right)
the credit for the internet goes to the US - Syujinkou, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1And here I thought it's in its puberty...
- Atomic1fire, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1your forgetting the webs first monument
the great firewall of china - tiuk, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2Yeah, that "method of displaying content" is called the web. web != internet
- colecut, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1I disagree..
apps like Wordprocessing and Spreadsheets might make more since to run locally..
but why not stick mail, chat, any app that actually requires internet connectivity anyway in a browser to provide global access to custom settings? - spootmonkey, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1close but not really true..Berners-Lee biggest invention was http...the web server and html and browser were just a realization of that idea
- maninalift, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1google gears
- Kumah, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2I'll say I like IE for web development.
Now can I see that crazy chicken creature? - MoragJameson, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm old enough to actually *remember* Gopher...ugh...
- FapCommander, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Alien porn?
- BingoPower, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1How can I write emails locally when the internet is down? (A common thing to do).
It's also development intensive when it really shouldn't be.
Smart Clients (or something of that ilk, hopefully cross-platform) I think are going to be the answer. All the benifits of internet-enabled/delivery, and a rich user experience (which is important). - leinar, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Check out Freebase: http://www.freebase.com Its a great semantic web approach, the kind of thing that could really ignite the whole Tim Berners-Lee semantic internet idea. Its like wikipedia but for data. The possibilities of having structured information all around the world the same way that we now have access to documents are limitless...
- JettaMan, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Right, just like the free market drove down the prices on computers from millions in cost to a few hundred. The free markets work, and this would be available to everyone at an affordable price in free markets. Sorry, but you are off-base.
