The first thing that struck me about Kevin Kelly’s talk is that the web is only 5,000 days only. This seems not so long ago and we should be amazed by this, but we are not!!

An interesting point that he made about the next 5,000 days of the web is that he expects the web will own every bit, that it will be a “black hole” sucking up everything and every item and everything connected to the web. It will become an internet of things. I find this interesting because it will be able to store spreadsheets and word documents which i think will eventually replace memory sticks and other storage devices that are currently being used.

Another point that i found interesting is all the data will be linked in “The One Machine”, from idea to idea and word to word. For example if i book a fight and enter my address,  “the machine” will be able to pick up that i entered a location and it will then be able to show, for example pictures of the area and where it is etc… I found this interesting beause i would find it very useful for locations i would’nt know when i would be reading a page on the web.
