They're probably right.
Semantic web ftw.

Nobody would be stupid enough to force every company and person in the world to purchase new equipment just to use the same basic thing they were before.

Exactly. It's not ever going to happen, and if they try, people will revolt hardcore.

People would be so pissed it would be untrue. I guess for the suggestion to even get this far it must be in the potential interests for some people to control the structure of the internet.

They wouldn't be pissed, because in 15-20 years time they'd already be pissed at the current internet for delaying their 911 phone call and getting them stabbed in the head by a burglar.

Oh, you mean like certain operating systems? Nah, no one would ever be stupid enough to buy into all the corporate "it's good for us" or "we need it" hoopla.

/Me points at Pitz

I guess I can't see any big picture here in terms of why and how. Besides, the net is just a free exchange of opinion. And pr0n.
