this is just me but,\nI feel we will have more at our fingertips to find more new thing to help us,not only in our lives today but in our work to the other side of the world in more depth in ways we don't know now.\nIt help us to do home work and school work and just the norm now,but think of how much more we will learn in the future.\ncool huh?

Well the trend is already showing us that the internet is going to be almost like interactive tv with dynamic content (aka Web 2.0) and video will be found everywhere. We will be able to think of web pages more like channels and eventually it will merge so much with TV that we will probably start using the computer for both surfing and watching shows (example is ABC offering episodes of their tv shows for free on their website).\n\nThe bandwidth of cable is going to go to fiber optics for sure (Verizon has already started offering fiber to the home in parts of the east USA) and once that becomes common place, data transfer will almost be limitless.\n\nWe will become a species of instant information gradification and  totally dependent on information and communication. That is just the sad truth. However, I think it will also allow us to work from home and on the road as mobility will also increase.\n\nAs a technology expert, I am a bit anxious to build this future, as long as they stay out of implants in the skin, I am fine with it all. Every day I am helping to build this future and having fun doing it.\n\nThanks for the question.

Apart from above... \n\nInternet has an unlimited possibility...\n1. A dying patient in Canada can get a help of a genius doctor in India for treatment\n2. A programmer in Hong Kong can be assisted by some Indian IT guy\n3. DaVinci code review can be broadcasted in no time. \n4. This can be used for propaganda\n5. Internet can be used for spam\nIn short, Internet is a tool. It can be used for good and bad and evil. \n\nFuture of internet.. An interesting question. You should read about web 2.0. The world is moving out from a centralised web system to a distributed peer to peer environment. Read more at\n\nhttp://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html

Technology will solve all problems. In time we'll be capable of living anywhere. Better question is will we be alive to see it.

Wireless devices will be everywhere. The phone, camera, and computer will merge with the internet. Vast databases of information will store, calculate, and notate every change everywhere. We will lose more privacy because of satellite imaging and web cameras. I know communications will become "one touch" access. The way we communicate will make the biggest changes. Look at what engineers have accomplished so far. Electronics is communication.

i wouldn't think so knowing the fact that the internet already is internet and it is virtual but its like this if you figure the internet is virtual and people are always working to make it better and improve it but what if they fail and the whole thing jusr crashes its not really going to get any better cause poeple dont want to work too hard it might make them quit or tired or something its just how it goes so my answer is NO!!

If you're cruisin' the fun sites, then there's no reason to take it seriously. Keep having fun!\n\nHowever, the internet and computers in general, are the single largest factor in the growth of human productivity.  And, there are astronomical amounts of capital spent each year on enhancing the net as a business tool.  I would think that the folks spending all that capital are taking it very seriously.\n\nHere's a little food for thought for ya' -- the internet repesents man's greatest leap into the fourth dimension.  Where time and space (distance) are removed as factors of limitation for communication. Because of the internet and live feed, you actually can be in two places at the same time.  Now, that's pretty cool!

Yes, internet has brought the big world to my small room. I can visit many places without spending money on expensive transportation. I can get news and entertainment from anywhere. I can communicate with families and friends anytime. There are so many things to learn and do on internet, including answering this question. The only time I felt internet was bad was when I was hurt by an internet friend, I said words like internet ruined my life. But actually, it's not the internet's fault, it's the users. Life will be boring and back to the small world we had around us long long time ago if there's no internet.

Oh my!  The computer and the Internet have totally revolutionized my life!!\n\nI actually have a social life now, online, which before I did not, because I am homebound and often bedridden.  There is an entire world at my fingertips.  A library, the worlds largest shopping mall, all the friends a person could want, information for every need, I have a life now!!\n\nI know that many tens of thousands and more of people like me feel totally liberated by the internet.  Also, I love to read, but my vision is too poor to read most books, but if they are in digital format, I can increase the light and fontsize to where I can read it comfortably, and dont have to hold a book or turn pages.\n\nAnd on top of it all, I met my hubby online, can keep in contact with my kids and grandkids and parents, all of whom live in another country.\n\nIt's been an awesome thing in my life.

Absolutely not. The internet is controlled by humans, it doesn't expand on its own. It doesn't have the ability to expand on its own and it never will have the ability to learn anything. It doesn't learn. Thats like filling a pitcher with jello and saying, "Look it's a living being. It has a structure, it holds what i put into it and it wiggles when i touch it!!"

Does it matter? The Internet is everywhere...

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.

This is the 21st century and the internet will be as useful a tool as the phone was years ago.

Only if you take the people you chat with seriously...allways remember the illusion of internet:you can be whoever you want to be(and lots of people do to escape their own lives)
