randomErr writes "ZDNET has this article about how a universal network similar the one in SE Lain will evolve. The author say it's not a matter of 'if' but 'when' this network will happen."
In five years, I predict that people will be making five-year predictions. This trend will continue to provide column writers with material and give keynote speakers at conferences neatly relevant topics.

...that when the events transcribed in Revelations begin to occur, we will build giganitic, sky-scraper sized mechs called Evangelion. These mechs will allow us to combat Angels and bring us to a higher state of evolution, assuming of course that some little brat doesn't decide to wish us all to death.
Come on. This one is just too stupid. People sometimes get silly ideas like this in their head from taking entertainment too literally. (For example, everyone was certain that we'd be living in disk-shaped houses high on poles and flying to work every day after seeing The Jetsons. Now while some things have come true, most has not.) In Serial Experiments: Lain, the Wired was an analogy. A symbolic construct that represented a higher state of consciousness. The authors were in no way suggesting that the actual Net would be a place for souls to gather. This guy needs to watch Lain again and get a better clue.
All of the buzzwords make my head spin. Did anyone else spot any content in that article? I was keeping my eye open, but it was mostly yadda yadda unified media yadda yadda web services yadda yadda etc.

That's all we need, a network that says "Listen!" every three seconds.

Ok, I don't know how VOIP and video on demand have much to do with the anime page linked to in the story header.
This is the same Everything over IP story the pundits have been whipping for the last 4 years. Nothing new here, move along.
