[Leaning Right]

Algore is saddened.

Not really. He'll just invent another, more eco-friendly, internet, one powered by fluffy clouds and dolphin laughter.

discostu: Before people go silly they should read it. He’s not saying it’s going to go away, he’s saying it’s going to be so ubiquitous it’ll be like air.

Moonman62: If anyone bothers to read the article, they’ll see that Schmidt is actually saying the opposite. He’s saying the Internet will be so ubiquitous that people will take it for granted.

9 seconds apart in posting time.

You guys are scaring me.

He’s right. The internet is a hindrance to our ruling class by making information too available.

[MeshugeMikey]

Coincidentally I tried to reach the internet archive at archive.org a few minutes ago and it was down...for at least five minutes.....

a test of the new net nuetrality “effort” perhaps....

I think you’re confusing him with Howard Schmidt.

[discostu]

It’s because that invisible internets put the word in our heads. You’ll see, don’t worry, it only hurts a little...

[Borges]

So ISPs can make backroom deals with e-commerce sites to block or slow down their competition? Do you want the Net to become like Cable?

Something tells me email spam will survive.

North Korea has an Internet backup system that is virtually impossible to hack.

The entire North Korean Internet is backed up on a half dozen 5.25 inch floppy disks that Kim Jong-un keeps in his underwear drawer.

Something tells me email spam will survive.

Spam, cockroaches and Bill Clinton will always survive.

if each of us have a google-chip in our head, we will always have the internet.
