Time as the stream we monitor

In my mind, the key point that this article points out is that when resources are virtually unlimited, we view things in entirely different and more powerful ways.

In this case, rather then view the web ("The Internet") as static, we now have the resources to view it as a continuous stream.  This requires vastly more bandwidth and storage than the "originl" web (let alone it's predecessor, UUCP) - but it  ultimately changes the entire paradigm of how we use the Internet.
