inevitable   (quote)

It's a good comparison... the associated prediction is that the internet will be taxed.

According to folklore, Michael Faraday, who discovered the principle of electromagnetic induction in the 1830's, was asked by a British politician to what conceivable use electricity might be put. Faraday replied, "Sir, I do not know what it is good for. But of one thing I am quite certain--someday you will tax it." This quotation is, in all likelihood, a myth, but nonetheless there is truth therein applicable to our times.
