:pretty soon the internet will be connected to every waking part of our lives in ways we can never imagine: Television, Microwaves, EVERYTHING will be connected to the internet. Think about this: in a couple years, when people are talking about building a house, they'll be running power and fiber optic cabling throughout the entire house to connect everything imaginable! Its not too far away guys
Oh, and to get to the 30% that have no use for the internet: Technology is the future, plain and simple. If you don't catch the wave, you'll miss it :P
Why not Ethernet? Think about it. Why does your microwave need fiber? Ethernet IMO is the next universal bus. Sort of how like CANbus is a slow bus, why not replace that with off the shelf Ethernet??
