Bearshark,

The internets are the most explosive I have ever seen. Since I was from the trading industry, I am aware that the trading companies when they were in their infancy several hundred years ago, also went through explosive manic growth, and could have been as strong, or stronger as what the internets are now going through now. They also did not last long before selling off dramatically, I believe it was about a year or so - wished I had the exact data.

When you mention human imagination, I try to put myself back in those days of the European trading companies, exploring parts of the world which no one from EUROPE ever knew of. Ships coming back with cargoes full of riches which few could imagine even existed at the time. That was also a great time for the human imagination.

I believe that there is always a limit. After the internets - they will come up with automobiles running on salt water, or as in the movie "BACK TO THE FUTURE", automobiles running on banana peals/garbage. Then that will be the craze. Then comes the colonization of other planets, as the new craze. Just kidding.

The crazes will end with transformation into reality.

Sorry for the philosophical view.

Seeya
