"We Are the Web" by: Kevin Kelly
August 2005
Summary: In Kevin Kelly's article he takes the reader through history and basically outlines how the web evolves. He then predicts what the web will be in the year 2015 based upon the changes he has seen it make.
Response: Kelly does a good job showing how the internet has become today what people 30 years ago thought was impossible. It is amazing to think that some guys idea to hyper link different pages together has evolved into a everyday necessity for most. The idea proposed by Kelly which outlines how the computer will become "better" than the human brain is a scary concept. To think that a machine may in fact do our thinking for us seems like a scene out of a science fiction movie. Movies like Gattaca, and I Robot depict worlds in which technology has run a muck over our lives. It may seem impossible to have computers as brain enhancers, but when you take a closer look at where history is evolving us, it is not all to impossible. I just hope our world knows when to stop.
