Did early WWW elicit similar remarks?

I guess so. Indeed most people have problems that they need to be solved and anything that does not solve their immediate problem is junked, even sentenced.

I wonder what was the immediate problem that the computers solved, the telephones solved?

Pathbreaking inventions create their own problems and then elevate humanity to the next level. Computers did. Telephones did.

May be semantic web will. I think all the data out there is in a big mess. I have heard of accounts data being converted from DBMS to spreadsheets then to XML (probably unencrypted) and then transmitted all the way, converted back to Excel, back to DBMS, operated on and then again sent back.

We need some real intelligence here, artificial intelligence may not be enough...
