The Internet was invented in 1832

Just heard something interesting from Brad Fallon (established internet marketer founder of Stompernet), on Eben Pagan's Get Altitude program about his thoughts on the future of the internet.

 

 
He was talking about how the internet was really invented in 1832, when Sam Morse invented the telegraph. In that, the telegraph was a one way communication network, the only problem is that both persons had to be there at the same time.
 
The telephone was a paradigm shift, because now two people can talk to each other at the same time, but still both had to be there.
 
Web 1.0 made it capable for one person to talk to many people at once, simply by giving out your website address. This transcended time and space, because your website can talk to many and you don't have to be there.
 
Web 2.0 made it possible for many people to talk to many people at the same time. This explains the explosive growth of online social networks.
 
Web 3.0 he says it's going to be machines talking to machines...
