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. Hes not saying its going to go away, hes saying its going to be so ubiquitous itll be like air. Moonman62: If anyone bothers to read the article, theyll see that Schmidt is actually saying the opposite. Hes 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.

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

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?

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.
