That's a little harsh isn't it? If not harsh then certainly elitist.

While not many on the Internet today were around to witness the transformation from academic to commercial use ...I think the next decade will see so many changes to the internet infrastructure that ftp, telnet, and http would be but sewage lines of the metropolis. Many would live in the metropolis, but few and fewer would have wandered in the original subterranean passageways nor be required to.
