Getting a Handle on the Internet

According to the Smithsonian Institute Homo Sapiens began using tools 2.6 million years ago in the form of unprocessed stone hammers and sharp stone flakes.

It took a full 1 million years (30,000 generations) for Homo Sapiens to realise that they could sharpen the basic stone hammer into a hand axe, and then took another 1.4 million years before we thought to put a handle on the hand axe (a little over 200,000 years ago).

Once we had paired the stone axe with axe handle it seems we were off to the races, however, and it was merely a few hundred thousand years before we were sat in a steam engine in our Sunday best drinking imported tea leaves whilst reading the days newspaper.

The internet, as a human-made tool, is arguably our modern day stone hand axe.

Yet it’s governing tools and organising ideas (such as domestic search engines as the primary means of navigating that internet) have failed to significantly evolve since their first inception.

The question now is how long will, or can, we wait before adding the metaphorical handle to the internet in order to radically evolve its applications and usefulness?

else propose to develop and deliver such a potential handle for the internet. We can not predict or promise if it will be THE handle, but it will be A handle, and it will be evolutionary.
