      I agree that I’ve heard these buzzwords before, but the difference is that we have now come to a position where we’re technically able to realize these visions. The problems with internet today are rather social/cultural and economical. I’m talking about censorship, (For political or economical reasons) net nuetrality, accessibility (I’m not mainly talking about disabled people here, but people who aren’t uised to the internet, like old people, kids doing their first exploration, and countries where the internet hasn’t been around for too long)

      These are the things we need to worry about, and I think the buzzwords serve a function there actually.

    sponsor — a person, firm, organization, etc., that finances and buys the time to broadcast a radio or television program so as to advertise a product, a political party, etc.

    sponspored™ - new/term coined by B-man June 20, 2007
    – A small, usually single-celled reproductive body that is highly resistant to desiccation and heat and is capable of growing into a new media organism, reproducing itself by way of certain bacteria, fungi and algae. Once you are sponspored™ you willingly act as a sponsor, patron or backer or guarantor for an individual or organization.

      This is far fetched, but I use Opera, and sometimes I choose \”Open\” for downloads, and then click to open the file while it is downloading. What happens is of course that the file opens again when it has finished downloading.
