The Next 5000 Days of the Web

I found Kevin's talk on the next 5000 days of the web to be very interesting. When it's put into the number of days it's been it really doesn't sound like a whole lot of time, but it is. The Internet has come so far in what seems like a short amount of time. Kevin mentioned that there are 55 trillion links a day used on the web, that number is huge! The other fact that grabbed me was that it uses 5% of the global electricity. That number doesn't sound so big but when you think about the fact that not the whole world uses the Internet it, it really is a big number. He gave some information that has already come true since 2007. The part about the phones not being part of the web at that time, and now everyone has access to the web with their cell phone. Technology has no limits.

  1. I think you're right, just in the 3 years since this talk so much of it has evolved. He's a futurist, but the future is going to evolve as the world population wants it to!
