Is The Internet A Fad?
Do you think that the internet will lose it's popularity over time and eventually die out? Pretty much everything in history has been a fad except television but thats a monster in itself. But will the .com craze fizzle?
For some reason I'm guessing that pedophiles around the world will never grow tired of having the world at their fingertips.
Well... as soon as battle mecks destory the world... or we all get ESP chips in our heads ( i love mine) I dont think its gona go away in our life time...
If you are caught by the gorillas, you must remember one thing.
What's that?
Never to speak!
What the hell would I have to say to a gorilla?
It depends ... will corporations succeed in their efforts to take money from people to access the internet?
Actually, even if they succeed, I doubt it'll fade, unless something better comes along. And I'm not going to lay odds either way, lest I look like the guy from the Patent Office who claimed that "everything that can be invented has been invented" (in 1899 or so).
As the lunatic responsible for its creation, I'm wondering what exactly I was smoking when I came up with it. -- Shadowblazer, referring to the old star system

of course not the internet will never go away!! and we will never get tired of having the world at our fingertiips!!it can only get better!!
If it ever declines, then it would end up being an underground thing like it began when only the government was using it without too many people from outside knowing about it.
Sad Fact of the Week
You're better off making a fool of yourself now than holding back and becoming a miserable one for the next couple of months or years.
Example:
Expressing your feelings to some person you like and they either accept or reject them is better than not expressing them at all and ponder what could have been later.
Tired, miserable, and alone. Just another usual day for me. Two years and counting!
i think it may even become a more important part of our lives, probably even eventually replacing telephones to make for cheap international calls :)

the internet will never die, as its been in use by corporations for almost 20 years, and by Universities and the Government for nearly 40. Actual domestic use may subside, but the flow of information over the Internet saves money for many that don't necessarily profit from the Net.

I don't believe that the internet will be leaving us any time soon, but I do think it will change quite a bit.
As broadband becomes more and more popular, (and fast) I predict that it will become more and more of an always-on streaming information service (like television) and entertainment (read 'Just for Fun,' by Linus Torvalds) that you will be able to tune into at any time. But will have less and less ad banners and such, as corporations realize that nobody ever clicks them. (have you ever clicked an ad banner? I havent) Which they are just now starting to.
I see online 'families' such as this one growing and becoming ever more popular, as the internet becomes ever more common and less 'nitch' (although thats already starting to happen alot)

The internet has become too much of a part of our everyday lives to be just a fad. It's an invaluable communication tool as well as a very versatile entertainment medium. If anything, it will probably grow to the point where it is used for just about everything... once streaming video gets to the point where the quality is as good as what you see on your TV today, it will probably replace cable and satellite as the preferred method of transmission for TV and the like. Ditto for voice communications... heh, perhaps in the future you'll dial a person's IP address instead of their phone number when you want to talk to them
You could no more evade my wrath than you could your own shadow...
