The Future Of Internet

The internet has taken large steps ever since the creation of Internet Explorer 1.0 in 1995. From a single web browser to now hundreds, the internet continues to defy what we think of as impossible.

Future of the Internet

Remarkably, the internet is no older than 30 years old and being that young calls for some growing up to do.

Many individuals have theories how the internet will change in the upcoming years, but with the help of a recent poll from Paw Research, I can shed some light on what you should expect in the near future. There truly is an enormous gap of what is currently possible and what is currently available, but there is no disagreeing that the internet will continue to grow, only how it will affect our lives.

Higher definition screens, global connectivity, and unprecedented web surfing speeds will be the highlight of what is to come, but why stop there? The future can bring things that could only be imagined like downloading a movie in a matter of seconds without any lag, or playing online video games where the servers never crash.

In a recent survey from the Census Bureau by the year 2020 there will be an average of 6.6 technological devices that you have and that are connected to the internet. Now not only are computers and smartphones connecting to the internet, but in the near future things like your new apartment can come equipped with things that monitor everything you manually do in the year 2015. For example, with a simple connection from inside of your apartment and your air conditioning unit it can sense if it has been snowing and right before you walk in could crank up the heat so it would be a more favorable temperature. Had a long day at work? With your speakers hooked up to your phone via Bluetooth it can determine what kind of mood you are in based on your events that happened and even your tone of your voice when talking to choose what song would be best to play when you finish that long day.

From the software side of things, there could be possibilities even from your refrigerator. Depending on what you have in your fridge, the fridge would be able to list what food is available and what kind of items you have to make a certain dish based on your mood, diet, or even preference.

Be prepared not only for groundbreaking technology but for a world of alternate realities.
