Tim Berners-Lee reads Web-tones?

Link: BBC NEWS | Technology | Web in infancy, says Berners-Lee. Well not really, but he does agree with me that it is still early in web years. Even though what we have seen so far is amazing, even despite the fact that geeks are disposed to hyperbole, we have not seen the best of the web yet. Why? One of the reasons is that improved broadband speeds will once again redefine what is possible. Innovation rides on top of infrastructure and currently the infrastructure does not support all (or even most) of the things that we would like to do.

I predict that we are at an inflection point once again. The slow economy will not disrupt it as it did post dot.com bubble. There is now widespread consensus that the Internet represents the future in industry after industry. This round of innovation is also likely also to come from unexpected places. It will be driven as much by the creative use of existing technology as it is by the creation of more/better technology. That is the real inflection point. We are quickly moving away from  Internet domination by techno geeks to domination by the masses. As Clay Shirky says here comes everybody.
