To what extent Internet traditions, formed during 
    the "pioneer period", will be preserved in future, 
    remains to be seen. Seeing as they are written in 
    the technical foundations of the Internet, they at 
    least have a future as relicts. The transformational 
    period of the net, means that things that happen on 
    the Internet will change drastically; old things 
    will perish and new things emerge. It can still be 
    observed, however, that beyond the surface of the 
    WWW, net newbies try to lean towards Internet 
    tradition and old-established citizens carry on the 
    tradition and supervise its preservation.
