The internet is a path routed network, which is necessary for its scale. There isn't any new base transport coming of any substantially novel nature coming any time soon, the internet itself is an invention on the same level as writing and mathematics, these things don't happen very often.
The Internet changed the world our parents knew, democratized access to information, eventually centralized it, but Blockchain and bitcoin freed it. Today our world is different, we can access and learn what we want on the internet, but we pay something in return with our information and without privacy. Every revolution has a David and a Goliath.
