Yeah, that kicker has given me a little grief feedback wise. What I meant is
that the kids of today will grow up with these things as second nature -
ergo, they will be able to "work it" better...

And yes, success is in the eye of the beholder.

Well, I was with you until the penultimate sentence, there:

>> The younger you are, the more influence you will eventually have
over this next sphere. <<

Is that just because you'll be around longer to influence it, or do
you have something more specific against us old fogies? *8) I
agree with your overall message here; I'm a little puzzled that at
the very end it seems to veer off into a paean to youth...

>> I think the majority of it will be successfull - just due to the
comfort factor with the medium.<<

And also due to people's individual and unique notions of what
constitutes "success". I doubt the majority of individual and
small-group stuff on the Web will end up being *profitable*, but much
of it won't be aimed at that anyway.
