Future of the Internet

Future? The internet is technically THE FUTURE right now. It has changed almost everything in modern city life and it has still yet to realize its full potential. It has barely scratched the possibilities of what the early visionaries of the internet had seen. I see even more possibilities for the internet with every passing day.

The picture below shows an example of a prototype internet device that allows details about objects or even people. Giving you the person's name, hobbies, interests that the person allows the public to view about himself or herself. And this is spawned from but ONE SIMPLE idea. Imagine many more such inventions and applications that the internet would bring about.



The internet is the future, and if you want to talk about the future of the internet, it is the same as talking about the future of the world. And with this collective resource of the majority of current human knowledge on our existence and our way of life, we are able to learn faster than any of our ancestors and also to think in ways that we have never thought before.

What I see in the future of the internet, is permeation of its presence in our daily lives. We will be dependent on it like we are on air. It will educate us in the things we need to know to survive in our daily lives. We will use devices that are permanently connected to the internet, to do simple things like plan our schedule or contact our friends. We probably have fewer devices if the convergence of communication/mass communication mediums are complete. Maybe a single holographic projection device with an inbuilt internet connection with basic processing power would be enough for us to do things from playing an online game with our friends, to booking our next meal at the restaurant we're about to enter. The internet would be seemless, completely meshed into our reality and we would be as dependent on it as we are on our cell/mobile phones if not more.

The future of the internet, what a silly question is it not? We can all see what is coming, for it is inevitable. Sleep well tonight children, for tomorrow is future! Alauz Out!

Idiots of today, Geniuses of tomorrow

今日の馬鹿,明日わ天才
