    Hmmm, doesn't look like we are much farther along today than in 2002.

    Let me see:

    Friendster vs. Facebook = no winner
    Flash vs. HTML5 = no winner (HTML5, imho, is a little behind where Flash was in 2002)

    The most amazing thing is that IE still has 39%. With FF screwing up the last several updates (bookmarks still don't work correctly, though they worked wonderfully 5 versions ago), I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I do use it out of frustration with FF.

    Only improvement is download speed, but now you have this silly video all over the place (that personally, I skip every time, no time for ads), so really things are probably not that much faster.

    Netflix/streaming movies is about the only clear improvement, otherwise I think we basically are going in circles (or backwards, if you count HTML5/killing flash)
