My uncle who worked for IBM a good 30-35 years ago has always maintained that eventually, the World Wide Web (not the Internet) would become comparatively slower and perhaps even so slow that it was not very usable, because the content being delivered was rapidly/exponentially increasing and becoming more complex, while the speeds of broadband etc were increasing disproportionately slower and the ability for servers to deliver content were not keeping up. I have a feeling that only during the period of switch between dial-up and ADSL, was he wrong. At every other point, he has been correct.
He told me that a good 15 odd years ago and I'm convinced his belief will be fact soon. It's already happening.
