The End of Future of Internet

I have shared about the future of Internet in the first post. I talked about how the different possible scenarios that the Internet would transform to be.
In this post, I will discuss about the factors that affects the future of Internet. The telling of what can contributes to the downfall of the future of Internet and how future internet may look like.

Hindering the future of Internet (THE DOWNFALL)
  1. Governments are stating their power and authority
    They have the power and ability to shut down Internet as they want or even decides what their citizens can gain access to.

    EXAMPLE: Issues surrounding blackberry in India


2. Big corporations and network owners are having more authority in setting boundaries
They play a huge role in deciding which countries can have connections or not have connections.

So,
Censorship is the result of all powers

Will it create more problems? Does it come in conflict with the cornerstone of Internet? Does countries have the rights to do it? Is it creating a information gap, depriving people of what they should have and human rights?

Here's a tour on international censorship!! (This is a must watch.)




The INNOVATIVE road to success

1. Your Voice: Using voice to surf
It is possible that in future we could use voice to surf. Speech recognition had been used in many other technologies. So in the next 10 years, we should not be surprised to be able to surf with other voice!

2. Surfing on any kind of device
With interface, anything is possible. The only downside is that it will be expensive.

3. Mobile Networking: Networking on the goal.
We could chat with friends on the go now, but how about interacting with the advertisement or even multi0user interaction!




Net Neutrality. Everyone should have the SAME access to internet.
No RESTRICTIONS.

Imagine if this does not happen.




And you will understand that
no matter how fanciful the future of Internet can get, we have to work towards Net Neutrality.
