Has the Internet Turned Out How You Thought It Would?

From its mass market inaugaration roughly ten years ago has the Internet turned out the way you thought it would? Who would have thought that a 23 year old could own a website worth $1.5bn and turn down an offer for it (Facebook) Frankly I find it slightly disturbing that one website could make one single person so rich.

 

What's "the internet"?

 

I didn't ever really give it much thought.

We're going to be rich one day from a website. I just hope that day comes soon.

 

Exactly as I had planned...

 

It WAS stinkfoot's invention, you know.

You should all thank him.

 

Thank ye, stinky.

 

Until there's a port on my computer which will allow me to plug my consciousness directly into the high-speed internet super highway - I'll never be staisfied

But then when would you sleep?

He'd sleep when he turns his comp off, if that ever happens:H

 

At an internet hostelry designed just for that purpose :H

hahahah I've posted 11,315 posts since 2005......that's excessive:spliff:

 

What about a 23 year old making so much money from 1 website?

 

I remember back when the internet was pretty much all bulletin boards and a graphics interface was something you only came about from time to time. Haha. I remember dialing up with a 14.4 modem and being completely overjoyed when my dad bought a modem that was sooooooo fast at 28.8.

Did it turn out the way I thought? I was 11, so not really.

 

Well, I was five years old ten years ago, so I don't think I really had much of an idea. I can't really think of a different way for the Internet to be, though. I like it....a lot.
