I forsee the wider use of the internet. in the future. You are going to see Home Networks that grow to encompass the whole house. Where your Fridge sends you an email telling you your out of milk and it has purchased it for you to stop on the way home and pick up along with other food items. You will be able to prepare meals and place them in to the oven which will keep them cool untill you send it an email telling it to start cooking. All of your home will communicate with itself and your over the internet. You windows will know to be open shut or your E-glass clear or opaque. You will be able to Moniter your children at school and on the way home and while at home. Better and more affortable security camers will allow HD quality full color security from your personal home page (The page you control your home operations from). You will be able to tell your robotic vacume to vacume the house while veryone is out that way not disturbing anyone but the family cat. Speeking of the family pet I see that collars with embedded technology that will moniter your pets health and shots again It will cross referance with your online day planner and schedule the most convenient time for you drop off your pet and get the needed medical attition. Your roof will be covered in 1/10" high performance solar cells that are coltroled by the home server to be at optiomem performance at all times. slightly tilting them to gather more sun. This again will be linked to the power companies computer system allowing for so much free electricity to enter the grid the need to burn coal and oil is reduced by 90%.

You car will also be on the internet and communicating with your home your phone and the cars arround it on the road. Cars will be able to communicate between themselves over short distance by way of wi-fi signals. This would reduce the ammount of accidents and traffice congestion on our roadways in major cities like Washington DC and Los Angeles. By having cars communicate they could over ride the drivers input to a point and apply gass and breaks faster or more smoothly allowing for better gas miliage due to the computer controled cars being able to "Draft" thus reducing drag. When cars were involved in an accident they could send exact gps coordinates to police cars closest to the accident along with fire and rescue. This would shorten response times saving many more lives. You car would email you and your dealership or mechanic letting everyone know that the self diagnostics system found that you need a new belt lower radiador hose and a oil change. It will cross referance with your online day planner and schedule the most convenient time for you drop off your car and get the needed work done.

Business will become more intertwined with the internet so much so that some companies will only have a cyber store. With on-demand shipping and manufacturing we will streamline the production and shipping aspects of retail. I also believe that many more jobs in the market will be able to be done at home via a telacommute.

Wat I would like to see is a 10 fold speed /data transfer rate increase.

I think the internet will be highly intagraded into all class rooms from 1st to college. We will see touch screen desktops where there is no need for paper books or paper to do work on. E-paper will be able to communicate with your desk at school and allow you to complete and email your assigments to your teacher or professor.

I would like to see the internet cleaned up some as well. I feel that any pornagraphic site should be moved into a domain all to itself the .xxx domain. That way it would make it easier to acces them for thoese that wish to access them and easier for parents to control access by children. By ten year will will need to be on atleast IPv8 I believe because we will have run out of IP address.

Maybe we can do away with petty wars and move to online gaming. Where two old farts play Playstation 5 and who ever wins wins.

I also believe that we will see the internet begin to start moving into the 3rd world countries and heling to improve the standards of living. Allowing the top doctors from the usa to set up a single robotic doctor and via the internet and video and audio inputs be able to preform surgeries in remote locations. this would also allow for the doctors to examin patiants from afar and not risk life if contagious agents exist.

The would coul b made such a better place if the internet is used wisely, on the other hand it could be the downfall of modern western civilitation.

We have the technology it is the fact that the government does not want it used.
