The key point of the article:

"What's much more likely is that the Web, through its links, and Google, through its search algorithms, have inadvertently set into motion a very strong feedback loop that amplifies popularity and, in the end, leads us all, lemminglike, down the same well-trod path - the path of least resistance."

I couldn't agree more. I hope that a good number of HN readers are working on the next disruptive force rather than continuing to prop up the status quo.

Not the same path for all. But there may be rigid clusters of people with the same opinion.
