Kevin Kelly 2: The next 5,000 days of the web


Kevin Kelly at EG 2007
The next 5,000 days of the web  (transcript)
Summary
The speaker told us that the Internet, the Web we used was born 5,000 days ago and he was curious about what’s going to happen in the next 5,000 days.
Now is the time when about ten years have passed since this story was told and told many things by him in this TED talk amazingly happened.
When I was a kid, each Family used a fixed telephone in Japan. It's not for free. Speech fee depended on the distance and time spent talking, thus I couldn't talk for a long time and couldn't talk with someone who lived in far places. I, of course, didn't have computers in my house.
Now, I have a smartphone in my hand and through the Skype or Messenger, I can not only talk but also see your face for free. It happens in the world.
The speaker tells us the situation that the screen we see in the world is looking into the one machine to connect the cloud wirelessly and always. There are spreadsheets on the Web and it's possible to link data.
We are so dependent on Google, we don't need to remember many things, we can search each other and it's said that we are the Web.
The speaker said that we are going to be the machine and devices would be portals into that.
This is our current world.
There's only one machine, and the Web is its OS. All screens look into the One to share. We think that we want to connect the One strongly. The One is us.
We've already been the One.
We're curious about what's going to happen in the next 5,000 days from now. It must not only be better but also create a new kind of stage in this development globally.
