Headline: Internet 10 years forward
Nutshell: It will be so influential that we should worry about where it will take us.
Vision:The internet’s influence will be sick in 10 years. Even now, the internet controls very much already, and in the future it will be much more powerful than today. Where is the first place you look when you need information about something? The internet.
The internet is a big fat network over the whole world; will it rule the entire universe in 10 years? Will it rule us?
Viruses are very scary. Some are made to destroy your computer. The internet is too big to handle for humans right now, and in 10 years it will be risky.
But I don’t think all is negative with the internet in 10 years, because it will go much faster than today. In 10 years, you will be able to control your home from your computer and you will be able to accomplish many things. Already today you can go and buy a movie on the internet and watch it a minute after it is downloaded.
The internet grows day to day and it gets bigger all the time, but the question still remains, where will it take us?
