The web is failing as a collaborative tool, because of the client server model.

The consistent internet:
    * DNS (more like Domain Parking System)
    * Certificate authorities (oh yea, we have every reason to trust those people!)
    * The Web (client server model centralises all the data, innovation slows to a crawl)
    * If it's "down", usually, everybody is affected.
    * No locality, everything pretty much equidistant, due to search, and consistent protocol.

The inconsistent internet:
    * Imagine getting the whole world collaborating together in GIT repos, DVCS style. 
    * These repos are apps. GIT is then a framework for decentralisation, with basically no changes whatsoever (Thanks Linus!)
    * Development and execution happen at the same time.
    * The idea of a website as a social network will seem ridiculous.
    * Application landscape will start to evolve very fast, because anyone will be able to contribute.
    * For example, game developers will trivially be able to have users playing their games as they are making them. 
    * The profoundly social nature of this internet will eventually see it's borders drawn upon protocol lines rather than DNS.

W3C == the language of the web. The next web won't have this restriction, it'll be a polyglot internet.
