Yeah, yeah, yeah, we did that one a couple of dozen pages back ...

You are also forgetting that I'm seeing this latest cause for breast beating (hi Filter-Overlord) and "waa, waa, waa"ing as an opportunity and cause for our current form of 'puter based communications to be forged into something new that will take it beyond the control of not only the Government, but also ISPs and even PAID for internut in the way it is so over-charged for ATM.

I see a future where every abode, transport unit from scooter to ship, odd item of clothing, bridge, lightpole, etc, etc, etc, is equipped with short range radio devices performing constant packet transport.

Sure, not too many of us will want to gather in the same place carrying un-popped pop-corn, mind you. Heh++ :)

But serious, I am sure we can quickly come up with something that will see the timely end of the internut as it currently is ... along with ISPs and reliance on even telcos for all that much.

Or do you think that the internut as it currently is, is virtually as good as it was ever going to get ?

I see it as just another stage to be discarded once it has served its purpose and been replaced with something better.

Show some imagination folks ! How many of you here remember what we had/used BEFORE the internut became the Brave New Way ? Now, what do you think we might have in another mere decade or so ?

Is what we already have so good that we shouldn't seek out anything better ?

Seriously, go back and re-read some of your messages, folks and note how caught up you are getting in what basically is peripheral and somewhat ridiculous and barely worth the time worrying about in terms of what WILL be achieved in the long run.
