Remember that one used to have to walk to the front of a room to change the TV channel and drive to a store to rent a movie or buy an album. I guess he's trying to suggest that something else will take the internet's place and that people will leave the internet for it. History says otherwise, though. The internet isn't a format, it's a medium. Medium's don't go out of style. This is not betamax.
