The internet is already closing down a bit. I've noticed in the last year a tremendous change in the search engine results I get. Whereas you used to get a pretty weird mix of stuff, then we started getting things that were pretty close to what the search was intended to find, and NOW 80 or 90 percent of the first page results of anything I search on are commercial sites selling something. I'm not sure how much of that is due to the fact that there are more retail sites, and how much is due to the indie sites losing out in the rankings.
