At worst [the World Wide Web] may just become a glorified video delivery system and integrated home shopping network with a built-in method of tracking your purchases and sending you personalized junk e-mail.

The outcome will have a major impact on the quality of life in the 21st century, influencing the way we work, play, shop, and even how we are governed.
