The Internet by Any Other Name

The trend-setting technology magazine Wired has decided to drop the capital "I" in the word "Internet." Gone, too, are capital letters for "Web" and "Net."

Why? Well, the editors at Wired (or is it now "wired"?) say the Internet has become as mainstream as "television" and "radio." Hard to argue that point.

Whether this change will trickle-down to mainstream use is yet to be seen, though it seems it should eventually. Was Wired too quick to make the change? Perhaps, but then maybe it's appropriate to make an early change considering the fast rate of change in the world of the internet.
