I think the internet is the greatest thing to ever happen to the world. Sure, there were a lot of things that happened along the way to make it possible, and it's true potential has yet to be reached, but from where I'm standing, all of the other events in history only effected a small subsection of the earth's population. (Hitler... ehh... worse tragedies have occurred, they just aren't so recent) The internet will be around for a while and it will continue to grow. It will outlive countries and the people who were effected by the wars it chronicles. All the while it will continue to become the center of our universe. Sun? What sun? Microsystems?
