Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment -- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign.

Dial-up will be gone because everyone will have gotten broadband (hopefully the telecom companies will have expanded their service areas by then)and someone will finally start an organization to police the internet(less porn maybe, or at least less crack and hack sites). There will be many more streaming media sites. Everyone with a connection will have a website.
Or, microsoft will have taken over the world. Which ever.

Somewhat the same, but faster, and with more interactive features.

1> Interactivity with Television/Smellivision
2> Your cable companies will dry up, as the net will become cable.
3> Video calls like you won't believe!
4> Utility bills such as electricity will be read via your "NET" connection
5> Your stove or refer will talk to you or a repair center via your "NET" (your home will be a LAN in itself!)
6> Rapid Dates or dating will occur via the NET first, probably in cyber bars.
7> Schools and Education will make the move to the NET
8> Bill Gates will be richer in part by above "evolution" of the NET!

Plugged directly into our brains with built in 360 VR reality vision so we can "go out" into the internet as if it were another world.
Problem is that we'd all get fat and lazy and lots of people would probably be taking VR vacations or just living in the internet, letting their real bodies go bad. But they wouldn't really care-- as long as they could be on the net.

It will be split intoo little compartments like internet 2 . You will have to pay to be in any of these compartments. The TV companies will broadcast within these compartments, and you have to PAY big time to view it. They will keep the porn at bay.

The "old" internet will collapse under all the porn and weirdness. it'll still always be there though, a bit like CB radio.

There is a figure named John Titus that began posting in chat rooms in late 2000. He claimed he was from 2036 and was time traveling to recover an open source IBM PC from 1985. He claims that the internet is wireless, free and everywhere in his time
If you believe him...

I don't understand all the specifics, but I keep hearing that there is legislation being voted on that might effect something called net neutrality, and that basically the big companies want to charge more and have more control over what we see and do in the future. I wish I understood more what that was about.

guess the internet would have reached the end of its shelf life. Something more out-of -the-box would replace it. I'm sure there would be a chip you could connect to your brain or something. Never can tell, scientists are the craziest set of people living in this world of ours!

We'll all be playing Counterstrike through the Internet with our holodecks... And there will be established teleportation networks through the Internet for instantaneous transportation.

The Internet will come in the form of a chewable tablet, and beam visions onto your eye lids.
