End of the Internet

Via Slashdot: “Is the Internet Dying?”

So, between spam, anti-spam blacklists, rogue packets, never-forgetting search engines, viruses, old machines, bad regulatory bodies, and bad implementations, I fear that the open Internet is going to die sooner than I would have expected. In its place I expect to see a more fragmented network - one in which only “approved” end-to-end communications will be permitted.

Interesting to me as yet another reminder that while you can’t see, hear, touch, or taste them, bits still have their own weight, measure, and mass.
