Kevin Kelly

It is amazing to see how much has changed in the internet within the past 5000 days. In Kevin Kelly's video, he explores what the next 5000 days may be like. While the web is becoming increasingly popular and more prevalent, there is a need for the computers to be able to keep up with the high level of traffic on the internet. Kevin Kelly compares the complexity of the computer and internet to the human brain. He humanizes the machine and describes how everything will begin to go through the web (ex. phones, businesses, etc.) and be owned by the web.

It is scary to think of the web as a "black hole" as Kelly describes in the video. The future web is going to have control over several aspects of our lives. Since the computer and humans are becoming more and more alike, it is interesting to think about whether or not one day robots may control humans, and for humans to become a "product of the machine". Is it possible for computers to ultimately take over?

These ideas are being frequently discussed and debated, and there is no way for us to be able to tell what exactly the future of the web is going to become. Until then, we can hypothesize and look forward of what is in store for the world wide web.
