Technology gets better and better all the time. In 20 years, there could be more advanced computers and maybe a new source of fuel for cars. It is hard to say what will happen in 20 years.

I think there is some bed effect and obstacles for industrial revolution but there is good effect too. I think industrial revolution makes people to walk beyond his capacity, achieve his goal within his lifetime, enrich the world with smooth time and good harmony

Internet is a conduit, it is more like electricity that cable though.\n\nIt will allow the convergence of media, communications and entertainment for 3G - games, girls and gambling

Internet : \n\n                        The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.\n\nContrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs. The World Wide Web is accessible via the Internet, as are many other services including e-mail, file sharing, and others described below.\n\n\nCreation of the Internet :\n\nThe Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.\n\nThe USSR's launch of Sputnik spurred the United States to create the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, later known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA) in February 1958 to regain a technological lead. ARPA created the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) to further the research of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) program, which had networked country-wide radar systems together for the first time. J. C. R. Licklider was selected to head the IPTO, and saw universal networking as a potential unifying human revolution.\n\nIn 1950, Licklider moved from the Psycho-Acoustic Laboratory at Harvard University to MIT where he served on a committee that established MIT Lincoln Laboratory. He worked on the SAGE project. In 1957 he became a Vice President at BBN, where he bought the first production PDP-1 computer and conducted the first public demonstration of time-sharing.\n\nLicklider recruited Lawrence Roberts to head a project to implement a network, and Roberts based the technology on the work of Paul Baran who had written an exhaustive study for the U.S. Air Force that recommended packet switching (as opposed to Circuit switching) to make a network highly robust and survivable. After much work, the first node went live at UCLA on October 29, 1969 on what would be called the ARPANET, one of the "eve" networks of today's Internet. Following on from this, the British Post Office, Western Union International and Tymnet collaborated to create the first international packet switched network, referred to as the International Packet Switched Service (IPSS), in 1978. This network grew from Europe and the US to cover Canada, Hong Kong and Australia by 1981.\n\nThe first TCP/IP wide area network was operational by 1 January 1983, when the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) constructed a university network backbone that would later become the NSFNet. (This date is held by some to be technically that of the birth of the Internet.) It was then followed by the opening of the network to commercial interests in 1985. Important, separate networks that offered gateways into, then later merged with, the NSFNet include Usenet, Bitnet and the various commercial and educational X.25 Compuserve and JANET. Telenet (later called Sprintnet), was a large privately-funded national computer network with free dialup access in cities throughout the U.S. that had been in operation

Of course technology leads to social isolation in some situations. For instance, the people holed up in their houses for days on end with game systems. Being on the internet constantly...I could go on and on. I have though of it before, and the impact on our society as a whole, but we have to change with it. There are positive aspects, too, such as making deadlines at work via working 'over' at home, e-mailing and IMs to people who you wouldn't normally be able to contact due to high long distance costs, etc.

The British Consulate is a good start but there are also site on the internet.

In the creation of the internet? I think the old arpanet was pretty impressive, and it directly led to the creation of the internet.

Maybe the ISP in UK had problems at that time.

Yup, I agree with Froggie and nini_nil, the people of a family would be closer and they would spend more time with each other. Also, children who are innocent wouldn't get spoiled (You know what I mean !) by Internet. But yes, there would have been many disadvantages too. We would never meet those people whom we have met online. There would be no Yahoo Answers ! We would have to go to a library every now and then whenever we have a project work at school, people of different nations would remain to be far apart and wouldn't know the cultures and traditions of other nations. Yup, there are many advantages as well as disadvantages, though, I am glad Internet is there !

There is a lot of information on this subject that could help you out on the website for Institut Eurecom and at the National Conference of Emerging Technologies.

It will be in very near future.
