Random note of the day...

Surfing through today's news section, I found this interesting story: Will There Be Any Web Developers Left in 5 Years? And this story: The One Person Web is Dead.

Somewhat related is Ghost Sites - an archive of failed e-commerce.

Oh, I remember the early days (which was a long time ago in "web" years, but really it was just back in 1996) when many a starry eyed youngster saw web design as a way to make it to the rich and famous. How can we know where the web is going in the future until we at understand where it's been?
