Abstract
The advent of the internet has changed the world in possibly more significant ways than any other event in the history of humanity. Is internet access and use beyond the reach of ordinary people with ordinary intelligence? Ignoring for the moment economic issues of access for all citizenry, what is it about internet access and use that hinders more widespread acceptability? We explore several issues, not exclusive, that attempt to provoke and poke at answers to these simple questions. Largely speculative, as invited talks ought to be, we explore 3 topics, well studied but as yet generally unsolved, in computational intelligence and explore their impact on web intelligence. These topics are machine translation, machine learning, and user interface design. Conclusion will be mine; readers will draw general conclusions.
