5000 Days Video

Think about the presentation on web at 5000 days.

Do you agree or disagree with the projections? I agree that the web is going to grow into something more advanced and more personal to the users but I don't agree with the whole "it's a machine" and it's going to be an organism type of stuff.

Why? I think that besides the techy's of the world the average person is not going to be willing to put that much information about themselves out on the web. I think that there are still too many older people who haven't grown up with the internet and who are not willing to use it that openly.

What did you find most interesting? I think that his theories are probably the most interesting part of the whole thing. I think that his theories are a little far fetched but they are still interesting. He almost makes it sound like the Matrix movie. "We are the machine" "We are the web". It was also interesting to hear that the web has been up for 5000 days.

How do you think the web will continue to transform? I think that it will continue to advance and become more user involved and used more in the business world but at the same time this will have a huge need for higher security.

How will this effect web design? This is allow users to become more creative and create pages that are more involved and make pages that look more visually appealing.
