Abstract :
The Internet, manifest as the World Wide Web and as e-mail, is revolutionary. It overshadows the personal computer, enticing more “regular folks” with the ability to browse, shop, and communicate than ever wanted to format a document or balance a checkbook. It has brought the issue of censorship versus protection to a new level of complexity. It is accused of turning people away from the real world of interpersonal relationships. It is even luring people away from their televisions. Why the Web is so popular and how it will evolve are primary concerns in business and politics today. My more modest goal is to point out those trends that I think will influence the future of the Web, with special attention to its impact on graphics
