Ugh… one more try

We still won’t be able to markup hypertext. <— Try highlighting the word “hyper” in that sentence, or linking to it, or this paragraph even.

Doc,
I’m beginning to see the rhyme of history, and I think the future is going to be usenet, but just a bit different:
No anonymous posts, because of spam, copyright, etc.
The notion of hierarchy will be replaced with tags
Everything will have a digital signature to prevent forgery and spam
Everything will somehow get a unique ID, so we can still Google it.
We still won’t be able to markup hypertext.

Usenet made efficient use of bandwidth with push technology. History doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme.
