Kevin Kelly

I was surprised when Kevin Kelly mentions that the internet is only 5000 days old. This is an amazing interpretation of where we stand today on technology. We have advanced so much through wires on the net. You can buy a brand new computer today and it could be outdated and considered old in a matter of months or even weeks. Kelly mentions about believing in the impossible. This is a great quote to live by. If we never would have believed in the impossible, there would be no net. The invention of the computer back then was an amazing discovery for everyone; today what we have progressed to web 2.0 and soon web 3.0, the people back then would think it was a complete fantasy, something they could only see in a move. Kelly also mentions the McLuhan reversal and that "humans will be the extended senses of the machine." It appears that the development of the internet is inevitable.
