Story: Do we need the Semantic Web?

I'm doing my Competitive Intelligence paper on the internet's role in business's strategies and what the future of the 'net hold in for CI and businesses.

I disagree with the Master student's opinion that the Semantic Web won't be worth it - how can we possibly predict the outcome? All new developments bear some kind of fruit that is used in future developments (and who knows what could be built onto or at least learnt from the Semantic Web?).

No one is going backwards if (or rather, when?) the Semantic Web realizes - it will definitely be worth it; even if not in the next 10 years, it will still change the future into a better one.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
