Today's Dilbert seems appropriate to this discussion.

What about everyone else? What do you still use on the web, and what has been relegated to another part of the Internet?

The Internet killed the local BB systems and it stands to reason that something else will kill the Internet as we know it.

I hated to shut down my BBS but it was just one of many to bite the dust... 1984 to 1996 with 3 nodes.

The Internet, like most un-killable monsters, may very well be a victim of its own success:

We're about to run out of IPv4 addresses, so it really begs the question why the industry hasn't already invested more in IPv6 yet?

Because the industry is shouting that we are running out of IPv4 addresses for the last 5 years and it still hasn't happened. Our company just bought our own C subnet no more than a month ago without a problem. If big companies stop claim entire A subnets for themselves we wouldn't have any problem at all.
