Professional pointing and searching services are going to be increasingly important. Universal active knowledge, interfaces through such things as telescript agents produced by General Magic will be increasingly important. Interactive multi-user entertainment like the Monopoly game we saw, will be I think an increasing phenomenon and conceptually the Internet is probably going to emerge as a kind of new sort of global commons along with space in the seas.”
