Hehe i think that this would never stop increase the number, nowdays internet is more usefull that few years ago, so the website context are more flexible and will be created a necessity of publish more internet context.

. in 10 years = 255,9 millions websites ( it's just my prevision, maybe more).

Could be that the official "counter" doesn't include scam websites or anything bogus and such. Like you could leave a blank page as a website and it won't be counted as a registered site. How the counter would know that, i have no idea but who cares. 17 million websites is still a big number, even though it is waaay lower than the amount of money the world's richest man has.

A pretty interesting fact though...good to know the internet is being put to use. (Not totally GOOD use though...not yet that is =))

17 million websites is surely a whole bunch.. first thing off is that it's a horribly frightening figure when you suddenly realize that there's all that information out there and most users that search for and utilize online resources only search for and go through about the forst 3 pages of search results... it's also pretty daunting that there must be all that information out there and so little time and life to go through as much as possible..

The really good thing though is that with all that content floating around out there, there's bound to be something for everyone's taste.. I mean that I can sit for quite a while at a computer and not get bored.. every day I seem to learn something new..

That's another great thing.. the more the information that becomes available, and the more people that begin to utilize the internet, the more intellegent and knowledgable the world's population will become.. what with the $100 laptops being researched by MIT for underprivilidged children and the really affordable computing becoming widely available, we can look forward to a world population that has a much more enhansed total knowledge base. And since there seems (in my way of thinking at least) that the more a person becomes aware of other peoples, places and ideas, the greater the persons acceptability of others; thus enabling a more peaceful world.

the spread of information, information and knowledge is the key to world peace - it will enable people to find means of self development and thus bring about total harmony..

I'll drink to the boom in information on the internet through massive growth in websites that provide educative information (actually information of any sort is educative) - all depends on how information is used...!!
