How would you see the World Wide Web in the future?

yes....the future will see wireless internet for everyone. Some cities already have free hi-speed wireless. At the very least, dial up will be completely replaced by cable and DSL. BUT the future is WIRELESS EVERYTHING, not just internet. Wireless stereo systems, security systems, etc.\n\nI agree that AOL is passe, now that people are becoming internet literate AOL is seen by most as what it is, a service for people that need to be led by the hand.

If you think about it, everything is made up of atoms and their corresponding bonding energies and energy states. If there were some way to map these things, say with some sort of nano technology for instance, then the "map" could be sent over the internet and then be recontructed on the receiving end somehow. But within the next century? Very doubtful.

In 20 years, the Internet likely won't exist in the same way as it does now.  We will be accessing all the Internet information through portable devices instead of huge klunky computers that are strapped to a desk.  Think of something the size of the PSP that is as powerful as the fastest desktop on the market today with complete wireless networking from anywhere.\n\nAlso, computers with wireless networking will be built into the dash of most cars in 20 years.\n\nOf course, that all assumes we eliminate our dependance on fossil fuels.  If we can't find an alternative fuel source to run our power grid, cars and transportation system, we may not need to worry about computers in 20 years as the oil may be drying up leaving no way to operate our economy.

Only the WalMart data center has enough storage space to house the entire World Wide Web. And besides, with internet content changing every second, why would you want a copy of it?\n\nSeriously, there is far too much data on the Web to be housed in your computer....

We shouldn't confuse "Internet" with "World Wide Web". A project of a far-reaching network of computers that was probably started in the late 60's/early 70's by the Department of Defense could be construed to be the dawning of the Internet. However, the "World Wide Web" was started around 1990 by C.E.R.N. in Geneva, Switzerland. It was used as a global network between scientist to trade ideas and research results.

With the internet being ever evolving, I highly doubt that things will ever return to the way they were.  I wish they had the user chatrooms too but aparently, someone in the office didnt like them.

Web 2.0, AJAX....maybe those aren't real new but who knows. I can see the browser looking more and more like a regular program interface more and more.

According to the site "waybackmachine.org" an archive of internet pages, it holds 40 billion web pages archived from 1996 to a few months ago.\n\nThe surface web, or the publicly available documents is estimated in 2.5 million documents. The deep web, is 400 to 500 times bigger.\n\nSo the internet (just the web, not counting email, ftp, usenet, etc) is estimated at 550 billion connected web documents.

Life would be very different. You wouldn't even be able to ask that question online. Maybe people would spend less time on the computer though. Maybe more people would go outside and exercise and really enjoy life. But at the same time, people from across the world wouldn't be able to converse. Also, we wouldn't be able to play many of those online games. We wouldn't have email. AAHH. or instant messanger. We'd have to write letters. I think life is better with the internet.

Since the 21st Century started in 2000, the computer and internet would not be a vaild response. I believe the greatest invention is the i-Pod. :)

You asked, "What was the first website ever?" Well, that depends on your definition of "web site." It would be great if there was a nice clear-cut answer, but, like most inventions, the world wide web didn't just pop into existence all at once....It happened (and is still happening) in stages. A reasonable answer might be the site that Tim Berners-Lee put together at CERN for the development of the first Browser/Editor, called WorldWideWeb, in 1990. But people might say, no, that didn't have enough in it of what we would today call "web technology" to qualify. Others might say, no, there were earlier things that qualify like Vanevar Bush's " As We May Think" article in the July 1945 Atlantic Monthly.\n\nBut I'll stick with whatever test data Berners-Lee used in the development of the program called WorldWideWeb. Certainly by 1993, there were several sites at CERN that qualified by most people's definition.
