The future of the Internet, other than as seen by a few visionaries such as Hans-Werner Braun, has always been easier to experience than to predict. I see no reason for this unpredictability not to continue to be a feature of the Internet going forward.

Disclaimer: For most students, the results of their time at Harvard are also far easier to experience than predict. It appears, if measured by alumni donations, that their futures were more than fine. I trust that will also be the case for this thing we have been calling the Internet.
