Sure. Well some changes are likely to happen in 50 years, especially "cosmetic" ones. But just like USB which now has many form factors, or HTTP with all these added/changed headers, the standard still lives as the king, which is a visionary achievement by itself IMO.
- wokkel 5y agoThe change is far from cosmetic: ethernet used to detect collisions on a shared cable and by restricting cable length and timeouts was able to work. What we have now with switches has no collisions and each device has a private cable to the switch. This is a fundamental change and not some cosmetic change.
