Silicon has been around for billions of years. Forming it into microprocessors is just a fad.

If microprocessors lasted only 5-6 years before they were replaced by a newer type of technology - then, yes, they would be just a fad. :)

The concept was not a fad. The concept was an advance which has lived on in other browsers.

2) sending the tagged content at a site, to an enquiring browser so that in a virtual sense, one is visiting the location.
