  But the amount of data will also increase relative to available bandwidth. A few years ago a 2MB page would have been unthinkable. Maybe in five years we'll be seeing 10MB of resources delivered for a page load.

    Which at 100mbps will take about 1 second.

      True, but we're not going to instantly switch everyone on the planet to those speeds. My parents have only upgraded to "high speed" 512kbs in the last few years. My 80 year of Grandfather is still on dial up. I don't think expecting him to wait 5 minutes to load a Tweet is reasonable.
