Somos la internet

En agosto pasado, la revista Wired (mi favorita) publicó un artículo titulado "We are the web" en omenaje de los 10 años de la salida de Netscape a la bolsa. Este no es un simple artículo, es un profundo analisis de Kevin Kelly (uno de los creadores de la Wired) de los pasados 10 años de Internet, para hacer su proyección de lo que nos depara en los próximos 10.
Este es sin lugar a dudas un "must read".

Como no tengo palabras para describirlo, paso a citar:

Not only did we fail to imagine what the Web would become, we still don't see it today! We are blind to the miracle it has blossomed into. And as a result of ignoring what the Web really is, we are likely to miss what it will grow into over the next 10 years. Any hope of discerning the state of the Web in 2015 requires that we own up to how wrong we were 10 years ago.

The memories of an early enthusiast like myself can be unreliable, so I recently spent a few weeks reading stacks of old magazines and newspapers. Any promising new invention will have its naysayers, and the bigger the promises, the louder the nays. It's not hard to find smart people saying stupid things about the Internet on the morning of its birth. In late 1994, Time magazine explained why the Internet would never go mainstream: "It was not designed for doing commerce, and it does not gracefully accommodate new arrivals." Newsweek put the doubts more bluntly in a February 1995 headline: "THE INTERNET? BAH!" The article was written by astrophysicist and Net maven Cliff Stoll, who captured the prevailing skepticism of virtual communities and online shopping with one word: "baloney."

The accretion of tiny marvels can numb us to the arrival of the stupendous. Today, at any Net terminal, you can get: an amazing variety of music and video, an evolving encyclopedia, weather forecasts, help wanted ads, satellite images of anyplace on Earth, up-to-the-minute news from around the globe, tax forms, TV guides, road maps with driving directions, real-time stock quotes, telephone numbers, real estate listings with virtual walk-throughs, pictures of just about anything, sports scores, places to buy almost anything, records of political contributions, library catalogs, appliance manuals, live traffic reports, archives to major newspapers - all wrapped up in an interactive index that really works.

"10 years that change the world", no puedo estar más de acuerdo, Kevin Kelly logró exponer de manera expléndida, épica y contundente mi creencia sobre el presente y el futuro.
Explica que hay un solo momento en la historia de un planeta en la que sus habitantes se conectan por completo, que es un momento curcial, y este es su nacimiento.
