What will the internet look like 50 years from now?

Question

For example, will it be in 3-D? Will we still be using keyboards to surf the net? Serious answers only please. Any smart aleck responses will have no chance at the 10.

Answer 1

more devices for user to interact with the computer and other user, 3d will definitely use chatting software .

Answer 2

The main difference will be speed.

The servers will be faster, the computers accessing will be faster, download speed will be faster and our access will be universal.

Because of the change in speed there will be more beautiful content. but the written is likely to survive because we can't photograph your hearts.

3D worlds will probably stop existing as such, rather they will be part of our total net experience. We will find news, work and play in second life...and second will connect to WoW and so on.

Access is the main thing. Take a dump in the toilet and it will recorded by your computer and emailed to your doctor (more likely your pacemaker might upload to your doctor, like cars can do now). You will get your toast in the morning and the weather report will be written on it (the technology already exists to do this).

But your wristwatch, phone, car, shoes, handbag will all connect to the net. We have special rooms and places just to avoid internet access. We won't see the net and our lives as different. We will have friend's living next door we have never met, and regularly go and visit our friend on the side of the world.

The most important thing is about control. This why TV is dying. I can choose the channel, but I might have to wait hours for the show I want. Online, I get what I want, and when I want it. Quality is not going to matter. Sure hollywood will post online at youtube, but a fuzzy out of focus camera shot of something news worthy will out rate it every time.

An interntet means a network of networks. The connection of everything. The Internet (big I not small i) is THE NETWORK OF NETWORKS. It will be everything and do everything.

We will have rooms devoted to the full on Internet experience and we will use tiny portable screens when that is needed. Mind control of computers will be possible, but how good it will be is another matter. Some people will unplug and disappear from the regular world. Unconnected, shopping with cash or battering their goods and labour.

Answer 3

It dosent count what the internet would be like in 50 years in keeping with some technology guy the international would be with out fuels for ability. we can expend the Earths grant of fossil fuels and we can haven't any ability. the international as all of us understand this is going to likely be back in the 20s technologies sensible. beneficial until eventually now that we would have neat information superhighway sunlight colours yet as quickly as we expend our earth we are extremely lifeless. We wont be waiting to have a 2d risk with the international. YAY that should suck. IM no longer A HIPPY OR something yet this is WHAT the international WILL COME TO. :(

Answer 4

I think the internet will be all controlled by one big company, keyboards will no longer be used we'll be about to type words with our mind. cell phones will be worn on our wrist like a watch. and be able to access the internet. I'll be 81 anyway at this time 50 years from now 2057 And yes I think it will also be in 3-D.

Answer 5

a few old people migt still have keyboards

flexible interface

in 10 years 3D "magic eye" style animated things will be an option for those of us who can see them easily, works with existing hardware

voice activated, clapping, snapping, burping, mice, waving, scratching, nose picking, voice (the interface will be customizable I think) ie, like set a burp to activate the screen saver

limits on speed will be gone

naked teleconferencing will largely drive the new technology

also, job interviews, visiting, discussing, listening to old folks, suicidal people, kids who are upset , homework help, medical consults.........will be part of it

people who are good at those this will be paid for it sometimes

Answer 6

i think it willl be controlled by our minds like if we think of something that we need to know the page will pop up and if we think of a naked girl porn will pop up i also think it will be alot faster alot safer and much easier to use my teacher was telling me that they were working on a new internet that when u type in a search only like 1000 searches will come up with it and only the most reavlent to ur question but i dont know when thats comming out
i just hope ill be here that long to see

Answer 7

there will be so much change in appearence (may de 3-D), but it will be much much more faster and easier,cheaper for use for simple peoples,conflict free, free of unwanted-disconnection,more safe from network intrusion,commanded by voice ( not by keyboard or mouse) and most predominently will be available in small piece of devices as watches,mobiles,pocket audio-video players,hand held pocket t.v.'s accessible /connectable thru only air-antenna microwave link (there will be no wires,cables and seperate lancards or modems, all will be replaced by only a built-in chip)

Answer 8

I really cannot imagine. Look how far things have come in 20 years, in ten years! Ten years ago i was jumping up and down because I got me a hard drive that could hold a WHOLE GIGABYTE!! Now I got that in ram!

Answer 9

it wont exist cus they're gonna scrap it within the next 20. read the articles on the yahoo homepage ull learn stuff

Answer 10

I don't think it will exist. That is just my opinion the way technology is so advanced there will be something completely different. Just like ATARI... that was my favorite!
