Either the Internet's attached computers, operating systems, and applications software will fail to deliver video, or they will succeed. If they succeed, the packet-punctuated pre-Asynchronous Transfer Mode Internet will fail to carry it. In either case, without video the Internet will lack the energy needed to sustain its current expansion..." ----Bob Metcalfe, From the Ether, InfoWorld, 12/4/95 [Complete article predicting the Internet's collapse can be found at: http://www.infoworld.com/pageone/opinions/metcalf.htm ]
