Check out the presentation by Kevin Kelly last year to TED where he talks about his vision for the next 5000 days of the web culminating in what he terms "The One" an all encompassing world machine.
His predictions;
- There is only one machine
- The Web is its OS
- All screens look into the one
- No bits will live outside the Web
- To share is to gain
- Let The One read it
- The One is us
At last people are talking about the one……..and he’s not called Neo.
He’s spot on …..though whether Google builds it or someone else is another matter entirely 🙂
