I posted about this in the sidebar but please, please, take some time today to read this wonderful piece by Kevin Kelly -
You Are Not Late. It is, at the core of it, a reminder that the Internet is still in its early days and all things are still quite possible.
In terms of the internet, nothing has happened yet. The internet is still at the beginning of its beginning. If we could climb into a time machine and journey 30 years into the future, and from that vantage look back to today, we'd realize that most of the greatest products running the lives of citizens in 2044 were not invented until after 2014. People in the future will look at their holodecks, and wearable virtual reality contact lenses, and downloadable avatars, and AI interfaces, and say, oh, you didn't really have the internet (or whatever they'll call it) back then.
And that's just a PIECE of the whole. If you've forgotten what a pioneering time we live in, now's the moment to remind yourself.
