Future of the Internet?

Tuesday, 12 Nov, 2009 0

The Internet five years from now? Dominated by the Chinese language and full of social media content.
 

So envisions Google CEO Eric Schmidt in a symposium where he said figuring out how to rank real-time social content is “the great challenge of the age.” His thoughts on five years in the future:
 

– Five years from now the internet will be dominated by Chinese-language content.
 

– Today’s teenagers are the model of how the web will work in five years; they jump from one subject to another seamlessly.
 

– Five years is a factor of ten in what has been known as “Moore’s Law,” meaning that computers will be capable of far more by that time than they are today.
 

– Within five years there will be broadband well above 100MB in performance, and distribution distinctions between TV, radio and the web will go away.
 

– Web content will move towards more video.
 

– It’s because of this fundamental shift towards user-generated information that people will listen more to other people than to traditional sources.
