Would you agree that electricity would probably always be necessary? If so, then what about the Internet? It's still early days for the Internet, but I think it's already becoming as important as electricity for many people. I'm not convinced that the Internet is just like the landlines, but we might need a more abstract description of the Internet, just in case say a new "Internet" of mesh networks builds momentum and starts replacing this Internet. But even then, it would be pretty close to what we have today. I don't see the Internet as just one thing that gets used for a couple of decades and then discarded, but more like something that will continually evolve. I see the Internet closer to the abstractness of "communication" than to the physicality of the "landline", which also implies only certain technologies.
