In some respects the web made us take a step back from the bloat because of the bottleneck at the modem. People stopped bragging about how many lines of code and started boasting how they got an 30k graphic to read at 8k. Having a connection that is 100x faster is going to put us back to the previous bloat mindset.

There is something to be said for the elegant solution, the efficient use of resources. My industry was never very efficient at using resources, except perhaps back in the days of the glass plates. Now it's efficient again. If I do an all digital job the only garbage is in the recycling bin on the desktop. On the traditional photographic end of my business I can buy my photographic paper in very large quantities and I get a significant price savings, yet the cost per print remains the same because the waste factor goes way up....it took me years to figure that one out.
