My Take on Kevin Kelly and the Next 5000 Days

i always knew that computers were getting better and more efficient t a fast pace. i knew that the computer could process information faster than the human brain. but the thought that technology is on its way to being able to process more information than the entire human race is astonishing. it makes me think that if a computer has the processing power of an entire species how close is it to becoming an entity in itself. perhaps it is already an entity in itself.
the web isnt going anywhere and with the involvement of user generated content building on the internet, we are only letting it grow. i agree with Kelly. the web is a machine and we are still building it. we have created something that will not disappear. the web is growing at an unfathomable pace and every human being with access to the web is helping it grow. wether we add videos to youtube, post something about our life, or even search something in google. we help the internet grow. this means as our population grows the web will grow exponentially.
one can only imagine where the web will go. it has developed into a massive power in the world and will continue to evolve. no one can tell what the world will make of the web in the future, but it will be outstanding
