Predicting the next 5,000 days of the web

We will watch a short 20 minute video in class on Friday, March 27. This video was a presentation given by Kevin Kelly, editor of Wired magazine, during the TED conference in 2007. After watching this video I would like you to think about anything we may have discussed in class or something we watched in class such as the Microsoft Office Envisioning video that makes a connection to any of the ideas Kelly mentions in his presentation. Please answer the following questions in essay format to be submitted to turnitin.com by Friday, April 6. The paper is designed to be a three page minimum. This will count toward a test grade.

Summarize the video and its major points.
Explain the sociological impact of this future Web.
How could future trends effect business and education.
Legally, how can the new Web cause potential risks to our privacy. Are we prone to give up freedoms for accessibility?

You can find the video we watched in class on the following page.
