www.ted.com At the 2007 EG conference, Kevin Kelly shares a fun stat: The World Wide Web, as we know it, is only 5,000 days old. Now, Kelly asks, how can we predict what's coming in the next 5,000 days?

i agree with Benjamin. I live in the middle east and visit and work with Nepaleese and Bengaleese people. They make about 100 dollars a month if they work abroad and about 1 dollar a day if they work in their own country. They save a months salary and buy smartphones. it is very standard and now as an American, there is no distinct advantage other than that as Americans we get far better educations since the time we were born due to better quality of life. But that too will change.

Kevin Kelly is a wise man. EG2 was February 1-4 2007, 4000 days ago. We are now at 4/5. And here I am, walking around my room, writing this inside Gear VR using Oculus Browser and motion controller. There was undoubtedly a substantial progress since then. I want to see how the World will be after next 1000 days. Internet of Things is beginning now but it won't mature until late 2030s.

Its funny he talks about the need for transparency and the leaving of privacy issues. I see this happening on a large scale with popular/personal culture, and through leaks on a political level (wikileaks, PRISM/snowden, etc). Yet a shift is needed where the popular culture and political level meet or merge and everything gets shared and disbands at the same time. Transparency on a personal level I am all for when personal means political at the same time. The boundary between them is illusory.

This reminds me of Isaac Asimov's Multivac, a super-advanced computer that appeared in many of his short stories. He went even further than Kelly in his short story The Last Question. He also predicted all of this, and described in with remarkable accuracy in an essay called The Fourth Revolution. I read it in a book called Towards Tommorow, but the original article appeared in a magazine called Saturday Review on 24 October, 1970!!

It already does. The near-0 cost of communication that the web has brought is being used every day by all kinds of activist groups that would be limited to local organisation with older technology. One of the most visible changes is in free information being distributed about the misdeeds of governments and corporations, through organisms like the blogosphere and wikileaks.

Nobody will ever be okay with total dependence on something that is controlled by someone else. There will always be a market for independent processing and storing devices. This is the problem with most of the sci-fi people, they assume that the human psyche will all of a sudden be okay with dependence. What is the rationale they use for this? Even if there were unifications for providing this sort of processing and storing, there will be several suppliers

Mr. Kelly seems to have correctly predicted most developments in the Internet. Cloud-sharing has kept increasing in popularity and indeed we now have cloud-based operating systems. Data sharing is becoming the norm: any large company now has an API. Moreover, data science is becoming increasingly popular and the standardization of data collection, processing and sharing is developing rapidly. Now, I will share with you my views on how the speaker depicted the Internet. His Matrix-like reference to the Internet as a unified being has obviously attracted the attention of some lunatic conspiracy theorists. Whether or not you see a network as an organism in the literal sense or in the metaphoric sense is only a matter of philosophy and not a matter of semantic. Defining the Internet as an organism with data collection, data processing and data sharing as its central means of functioning is equivalent to defining it as the abstract term that denotes the interaction between persons, their computers and their programs. Both point to the same thing; there is no difference in meaning. So no matter what interpretation you prefer, realize none of them point to esoteric views such as that all people are part of a collective conscience or other purely speculative psycho-analytical crap. So please, do not resort to claiming the speaker is trying to promote conspiracy theorists when he is only defining the internet in terms of other, similar structures such as the brain or single-cell organisms. Acknowledge that he did not refer to humans in this regard. Consequently, stop identifying the speaker's claims as belonging to some conspiracy theory.

I would go along with the idea of being completely transparent for personalization of the web for me. There are still some things the new 'web' would not know about me because I wouldn't want it to. But if this web was personalized for me every time I stepped out my door or logged on to it or drove it somewhere, I could see a personal benefit in having information that pertains to my life, relevant to my situation in life simply accessible anytime anywhere on the planet. Would make life simpler.

You mean like they do in most hypothetical discussions/presentation? >_> Flying cars were a perfectly viable technology around century turn-over. The problem is that there just no market for them, and infrastructure is invested in highways and roads, not in aircontrol systems. So you get a better ROADcar, instead of a skycar. Part of that is also because of the evolution of human rights. Skycars, compared to roadcars are very unsafe if people are allowed to pilot them. (think of drunk pilots)

Mr Kevin Kelly talks about sacrifising individual characterestics for becoming transparent. which is nesecary to cope with our I.T. inventions. This goes against a principle of nature ; Man can not stand being meaningless. Each person searches for it's own individual perception of nature. The nature of information is, that it looks inwards. the perception of that information determs the descisions made in the future. There by an inwards invention like I.T. should never detrm life in any subject

Do we really "have to get better in believing the impossible," or do we need to learn that we have NO clue what will happen in the future based on anything we've known in the past? I'd venture to say that the second lesson is much more important. These vague predictions are no more likely to be true in 5,000 days than any other guess, except perhaps if one were to say that the future will most likely be different from today.

I agree, especially compared to the average speaker at TED, this guys just stammering on about 'TEH FUTURE'! I find his initial premise (where he states that 10 years ago nobody could fathom what the web would be today) ironic since he himself seems totally unable to look beyond what's happening today. Imho he's just reeling at what's going on around him and what he's talking about what it will be like in 10 years is actually what's going on right now.

His number of 8 Terabytes a second can't be right. A single Cisco CRS-1 can handle 12 Terabytes(96 Tbps). I find it hard to believe one single device could honestly handle the entire Internet simultaneously. Depending on how one measures the through put of the internet. I'm sure the number is actually 2-5 orders of magnitude larger than that.

Funny, I always thought more along the lines of a heli-car in that aspect. Anyways, the point is, he might be right, or he might be wrong. I think it's very hard to say one way or the other. What WOULD be the next major innovation of the internet? More interconnectivity with more devices is almost a given, but in terms of functionality... Personally I don't really have a hypothesis but things like more intelligent search engines sound almost a natural consequence of what is already happening.
