The web won't become faster. It'll just do more than before and take as much time as before or even slightly longer, just like software and operating systems have evolved so far. The key to fast operation is lowering the work-per-horsepower ratio. This hasn't happened for obvious reasons: imagine the mid-90's world wide web running on modern hardware. Pages would be a few kilobytes. Nearly everything would be instantaneous. Text would be weighted over images. People would be generally unhappy with the simple design. Then they would begin to make sites that are more amazing and flashy and less useful... oops, welcome to the 2010's! :)
