Prediction Number Two:

utterly Stupid.”

the collection of memories
not only grows, it automatically
becomes harder to recall.”

Prediction Number Four:
“The Internet will
totally disappear.”
Jan, AdNerd Sr.

“The most profound technologies
are those that disappear. They

Recommendation (only this one):
“Don’t invest in
wires, outlets and
boom boxes.”
Bart & Jan, AdNerds.

The future of the web…

You can bet on all four.
Your MP3-player is your life’s remote
control (if you choose so).
There is no such thing as memory
loss in an ambient world.
The internet will become one smart
cookie.
Our environment has become the
interface.
