>Batteries that can store the internet in them for when your connection goes down.

This idea is kind of great though. Remember that mcmaster car website? One reason it was so fast is it would silently download the next pages before you visited them. Creating the impression of instant loading. Could we do something similar where a program constantly downloaded websites you were most likely to visit in the background? Eventually having both a mass archive of useful content over time and creating the impression that the web were instant? With how cheap storage space now is and how fast connections are maybe the bottleneck now is efficiency of user input.
