Because 20 years ago, the idea that billions of people around the world
would be connected by a robust, resilient network was unimaginable.  15
years ago, the very thought of people having 5Mbps, always-on
connections to their home was ludicrous.  10 years ago, the thought that
"ordinary" people might be running a Linux-based operating system on
their desktop/laptop computer for day-to-day business was laughable.  5
years ago, the thought of a Linux-powered mobile phone taking massive
market share was unimaginable.

Some time, somewhere, someone has a spark of an idea.  It might seem
ridiculous at the time, but things change, and the simple act of sharing
the idea and getting other minds thinking about it can be enough to make
it happen.
