We are just seeing the tip of the Internet ubiquity iceberg. Cellular phones which can double as World Wide Web browsers are now available for purchase. They represent just the beginning of the freeing of the Internet from desktop computers. Maybe dictionaries aren't as interesting to you as they are to me, but the protocol supports any kind of natural language dictionary database. This could include technical terms, programming language references, recipes, part catalogs, etc.
Internet protocols provide any information anywhere.
That is the power of the Internet to make a real impact on how we live our lives. The Bottom Line I guess there are some who primarily value the Internet for its commercial potential. Call me an optimist, but I'd like to believe that true value lies in what we can produce, not what we can consume. It is our intellectual products that distinguish us as a species. Technology is a product of intellect.
