The web might be becoming slightly less of a Single and Obvious Answer as a platform for internet technology investors and entrepreneurs - how much so, well, they'll figure it out.
Rumours of the web's death are greatly exaggerated, though. It's the largest generally accessible, indexed, hyperlinked, searchable repository of information out there by a crushing margin. Oh and you can add essentially whatever you want to it for essentially nothing. It's effectively immortal, or at the very least, undead. If you ever find yourself regularly spending an hour online without doing a search, clicking, saving or sharing a link then the web might be on its way out. We should all live so long.
