The End of Internet

Gone are the days when internet used to be exciting. I still remember the days (some 10-12 years ago) when access to internet was so privy. Access to internet had a great snob value. It brought a plethora of information to general public who had access to internet. This 'general public' was not the entire masses, but it still was a superset of all the specialists (information hoarders) that existed earlier.

Since then, proliferation of information started happening at a faster rate. Now we were having almost everything at our fingertips. In just a decade, we have surfed so much in the internet that we are hardly left with anything new or exciting in the internet. (Though there still exists a vast majority of human population who have never accessed internet!) Everything has become so routine now. You have got your favorite sites which you visit so often. And that's it. For explorers, there is hardly anything new to explore now. Surfing internet has become as monotonous as driving on a US interstate highway with cruise-control on.

I believe it ought to sound like an oppotunity to those creative minds who can bring in something new and exciting for the explorers to explore. But the rate at which new things come in has to outpace the rate at which they can be surfed or explored. We need a lot of creativity lest the Internet would just lose its charm, and stay on to become routine & mundane (yet necessary) medium.
