I wonder if the vt-100 terminal emulator will be used to surf the next "web"... Instead of web sites, the nerds will run their own ssh servers, then you can run programs and read files on their "web site" (ssh shell). This has many advantages over the current web, for example built in user management - you can allow anyone access by their public ssh key. Now you say what about graphics ? Text only might be a break from the ad ridden web today, but you could also ssh -X to run GUI apps. |

That used to be a common practice before the advent of the web. There are still plenty of them around, including a few games.

There are some extensions outside of the VT100 protocol that allows things like graphics. Emacs buffers are capable of much more. They could achieve graphics right in the terminal. Ultimately, they are all variations of the same idea that HTML and CSS are based on.
