Interesting article on the history and growth of the internet. Particularly struck by all the bravado from the those claiming responsibility back in 1969 for its creation, but, as a few bloggers have correctly pointed out, despite all this talk of how fundamentally the internet has changed our lives in just 40 years (quit a long time in innovation terms actually) the majority of us still go to work, drive cars, physically go to school or university, watch tv etc. Hardly fundamental change then!
Maybe, that change is now coming. As a result of social media and the semantic web? We will see.
