Kevin Kelly’s 2007 TED talk on the next 5000 days of the web.
The web was 5000 days old when Kevin Kelly recorded the “Next 5000 days of the web” for the TED talks. It really is remarkable to be reminded how the web has changed our lives, how the unimaginable is now taken for granted and how we are underwhelmed by the overwhelming.
Kelly throws some incredible facts into his talk – 100 billion clicks per day, 55 trillion links between pages from a “machine” that uses 5% of the worlds electricity.
I watched this over a sandwich and spent the rest of the afternoon in looking into my browser with a newfound respect and just a little awe.
