Um not to correct you Levi, but the world is full of VRML and Java Applets. Well of a sort anyways. Second Life is absolutely HUGE and has essentially become the standard online 3D world that VRML strove to be. In fact it's so common right now, that even IBM uses it for business meetings. And Java, well Java is everywhere too, just not where you'ld think. Sure it's not the de-facto standard for web-apps since flash has that honor. But a cursory glance at the Java jobs section of any recruiting site shows that Java is in big demand, therefore there must be a pretty good call for it.
My guess it that the future of the web and indeed the world will be far different than anyone could ever predict. But maybe not too far different.
