Sam Ruby on the future of "messaging"...
Ten years from now, we will be using SMS text messages to change the channel on the televison...Remember all of those incompatible protocols I mentioned above? You know what happened to them?
Well, somebody had a bright idea to define an inter-networking protocol (they called it “internet” for short) that could be used as a gateway between these local area networks. Eventually, people stopped using the often proprietary LAN protocols in favor of directly connecting into the internet protocol itself.
Ain’t it funny how that worked out?
