never thought of it like this. The Treat of Bern is super interesting, thought you were referring to Tim Berners-Lee.

There is a 2.5 network I think....Minitel in France for example or Nintendo Famicom Network

Your fourth generation Network is quite interesting. I think its impossible to move physical items over the wire even in the future, instead something that approaches 4th generation via progressive improvements with other areas of sensory feedbacks: tactile, olfactory that could be stored and transmitted over the wire.

Like I imagine a situation where you could order a basketball on Amazon and it instantly appears but it feels, smells, tastes (lol) exactly like a real thing, but it works only in certain zones where it can be conjured up digitally. Perhaps some advancement in ultrasound where objects can be created, and is able to detect collision with your body, and simulate tactile/olfactory feedbacks
