Have you ever wondered how the creators of the web imagined all this? That practically everyone here ones a website or owns a company or owns a datacentre? Isn't it amazing? that before the internet was just texts and now its images and softwares.

Now I wonder what is the next good move of the web? Besides cloud servers and ssds in servers.

I think that automatic interaction ("communication") among different web services may be an upcoming major trend. I could be wrong, though!

it already is. the 'ping' thing in between wordpress blogs, feeds, this that. people dont use feeds much tho.

Once the machines become self aware we will witness the next evolutionary step of the internet. AKA Skynet.

We are going to use internet through refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers and every kind of electronic machines. In example: We are going to switch on dishwasher through facebook or our website, and login to our facebook account by using a refrigerator

I think, next level will be thinking machines. Sooner or later, machines will take control over.
And other level will be wild-west age. We will be probably using horses. We will not be able to find any oil, water. Perhaps, computers create a new civilization in Mars.

Isn't that a movie? If that happens then we are truly lost. That is no way to live. You wouldn't get to experience anything. Pain and fear are necessary things, and they teach us invaluable lessons. If we're sheltered from all these things we won't develop into well rounded human beings.

Delete me. Double post.

I used to always wondered how do we see text flies as images and now I know so don't answer that. If you think about it over the whole picture the web came so far now it is a free world that you, yourself can make and mold. I always feel like a 4 year old kid thinking like that because we still have more to create and find out.

@Mike Isn't that content grabbing?

@ Paraiba I think LG has the internet based washing machine. I think I saw one at bestbuy with the nice tag of 1,999.

Machines taking over makes me think of Mass Effect 3 for some odd reason. (Any gamers out there?)

Like they gonna have better web-tech than us? (I Have no idea who controls the web. I know ICANN controls the domains and AIDN[misspell] controls IP)But we should call <insertwebcontrolorg> for the newer things.

I'm still semi-clueless how cloud is better than vps for dedi.

Internet was invented by pentagon scientists.
A true cloud is better then regular vps/dedi cause:
*Multiple location
*auto failover
Plus more.

But now I'm pretty sure no one organization controls the web.
Didn't CERN create the web?

Cost wise I've noticed cloud servers cost about 1.5x more than dedi and about 3x more than a vps with less power/performance. So pretty much cloud also technically can have a unlimited harddisk.

Cloud is a semi new thing for me. When I got into website owning there was 3 options shared, vps, and dedi.

No cloud can not have unlimited disk. Your resource is still shared with multiple physical server.

But if you can non stop add more servers to the cloud (I know by that time you'll have a black hole in your wallet) couldn't that count as unlimited.
