How will the internet look in 2020?
June 7th 2010 03:24
In a recent survey of American computer boffins in which they were asked the above question, the consensus answer was, “There is no way we can know.”
Australian boffins were a little more prepared to stick their necks out. A survey of 400 experts in Melbourne threw up a popular forecast that by 2020 our dependence on the web will increase, and the average home will be connected to the internet in almost every way possible.
However, when the same 400 boffins were asked what they thought would be the hot gadgets, applications and technology tools in 2020, they pretty much came up with the same answer the Americans gave earlier: “Who knows?”
As American IT consultant Charlie Martin, said, ``If they could be anticipated now, they'd be the hot gadgets today''.
It’s a brave new world out there in tomorrowland. But a mysterious one.
