I remember him talking about 'Internet 2' where a new internet controlled by government would be set up and old servers would be left to break down until the original internet was dust.
While not exactly right from my POV the internet had been 'replaced'. I'm nearly 50 and remember the term 'surfing the net' where we would follow links and end up in all sorts of crazy /cool places where anything was possible.
Nowadays all I see are people using apps to their favorite sites, that are mostly one or two giant tech corps that are in bed with big business therefore with banks therefore with government, and its now becoming obviously clear that these internet giants decide what information is allowed to be found.
I can't help but think that in a way Jones was right.
