Occasional musings that fall out of my brain and on to the site. Occasionally more occasional than I'd like. But will try to fix that.

The Future of the Internet

Posted by stephen on Thursday, 06th October, 2005 @ 18:53

It's been an interesting, if slightly concerning couple of days lately in regards to the Internet. Questions over political control and some of the networks in this ultimate network left unable to talk to each other because of corporate disagreements.

Meanwhile, is Google creating it's own replacement to the Internet?

These are interesting times indeed. I'm not sure where I stand on the issues. I might one day be on this thing called the GoogleNet, checking my Gmail, buying my goods and reading the news through Googlezon. But rather worryingly, I'm not in the least bit scared by that.

I suppose that's just the kind of guy I am. I really don't mind that Tesco and Amazon know the kind of things I like. I love that they're able to offer me things that I probably will like because they know so much.
