The Future Of The Internet In The New Millennium

By Damian Papworth


After more than four decades since its beginning, the Internet is still one of the greatest things that humans ever invented. There was nobody back then that could have said what the future of the Internet would look like in forty years, and there is nobody now that can surely envision where the Internet will be in ten years from now. After all these wonderful new things that appeared over the years, is there anything left to discover?

The revolution brought forward by the Internet is maybe the biggest the world has experienced and is still experiencing. All the people that utilize the Internet, one way or another, are making this revolution constantly more spread and developed. Even if it is the smallest thing, like adding a comment on a website, one person is contributing to the constant transformation of the Internet.

One can ask if there is anything else coming our way in the years to come, after all the fabulous characteristics that appeared over the years. What else could possibly be envisaged or designed to make us astonished by what the imagination of some people can develop. The creative power of humans seems to have no limits. The safe decision would be to wait and prepare ourselves for more new stuff every once in a while.

Things are always in motion in this domain and some new features are waited by everyone, while others appear out the blue. One major development could be related to the integration of the net in every aspect of daily life. Practically, from rocket science to ordering food and from medicine to developing a new personality online.

A new development that is already in motion if about the physical devices used to browse the Internet. From access spots in public places to mobile phones and the new iPad, there seems to be no limit to the future accessibility of the web. These new devices are becoming more popular and the trend seems to make everything digital and as small as possible.

A revolution that everybody is waiting anxiously is the constant increase in speed and accessibility. The speeds are higher than ever thought they could be, and more and more areas across the world gain access. Through the constant development of satellite technology, it can be accessed from remote areas.

One final development that is still in early phases is the way the Internet is interacting with its users. One can only imagine the various ways we could go online and interact with others. From voice commands to just thinking about a feature and accessing it instantly, the possibilities are limitless, bound only by the imagination.

Could we live without the Internet? We surely could, even some cannot imagine such a world. But the truth is that the Internet is here to stay, and it has made our lives easier. What is the future of the Internet? Nobody can predict. But it is sure that there is a future.
