Future of the Internet- next 5,000 days
In this post, I wanted to share a report on the Internet. The Internet has changed a lot in the world and most definitely the world of marketing. At a 2007 EG conference, Kevin Kelly shares a fun stat: The World Wide Web, as we know it, is only 5,000 days old. Now, Kelly asks, how can we predict what’s coming in the next 5,000 days?

Well, I’m definitely not under 30 (I won’t say where) but I used to eagerly await the blinding colors for the content…it was worth wearing sun glasses
