> I think within the next decade or two there will be people on Mars, the moon, maybe the moons of other planets, or even on asteroids. Undoubtly they will have computers. Surely they will connect to the internet. Question: Will we continue to refer to "The World Wide Web?" If not, what will we call it then? What if someday they have professional baseball on Mars? Will we rename the World Series? Will we have to revise expressions like "Where in the world...? What will happen to the "W" in TWA if they start flying passengers to Mars? I am seriously worried about these things. What is this World coming to?

I'm going to skip all the Galactic-wide-web considerations -- although of course, that would be an important intermediate step -- and instead go directly to the macrocosmic scale. In the future we could refer to the WWW as the:
