The web is a clusterfuck of pages users can only read and leave comments on. You won't really do anything relevant with the web. It's useless compared to the speed of current internet accesses. The only thing people use are internet browsers, which use HTTP as a basis, which is telnet. The web is still using old techs and no engineers is really trying to make new things, besides to-the-metal tech like bittorrent.
The internet is not just a web of websites, the internet is also connections between pairs, which is soooo much flexible.
Right now, what does applications do ? They select data from a database, with nice data structures, then they write this huge text file and send it. Your browser then parse this stuff to make some sense of it, you put data in it, and it's sent back. Google then parse aaaaall this, and tries to make some sense out of it. And somehow they manage. The web is like people communicating with mail instead of using real time telephone conversations. It's very inefficient. People try to make real time stuff with it, like facebook and their huge cluster, but it's really a sad show. JS has now almost replaced the role of C and C++ in execution speed. But it's still sent by mail.
I thought webrtc sockets would fix that, but in the end it's a huge fail, you can't connect to an IP address directly, it's still that centralized clusterfuck.
