Where is the Internet headed and what will it be like in 10, 20, or 50 years from now?

Question

It's a series of tubes!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Ever seen the movie "Johnny Nmemonic"? Virtual reality consoles, artificial intelligence interfaces, fully-automatic-robotic hardware, plug-and-play-anywhere-on-the-globe wireless devices connected to sattelite, reality augmentation, and all able to connect directly to the brain (no sensory devices such as we have now, with a screen for the eyes, and speakers for our ears). These are just a few of the things AVAILABLE NOW (although some not available to the public yet), so who knows what we'll be able to come up with in 10, 20, 50 years.

Answer 2

Microsoft will become a very tiny company, and Linux will entirely dominate the desktop computer market, with Firefox having 99% of the web browser market.

Linux is just naturally superior...
