I'd disagree about the 6th-grade level note; would argue freshman in college, maybe. But that's beside the point: How do people not extend the timeline a bit?

I'd disagree about the 6th-grade level note; would argue freshman in college, maybe. But that's beside the point: How do people not extend the timeline a bit? It often feels like the release of the internet, but instead of people going, "Holy crap, this is going to be huge!" we have a majority saying, "meh, it only connects like 12 different universities." As though progress somehow deadstops right where we are.
