Internet In The Future

When having to pick an article to write about, it is important to choose one that sparks your interest. What I am really interested in is how the internet will look ten years from now. The future is always something I am intrigued in. While reviewing this article I quickly realized that it was focused on Europe. However, I believe that Europe and America are almost the same when it comes to people using the internet. Both Country's have the same advancements when it comes to the internet. The internet is the same world wide, which is why I believe all these advancements will also occur in America.

What really interests and fascinates me about this article is that in 2009 no business could operate effectively without the internet. This proves how far the world has come with the internet. I believe that the internet has basically taken over the world. Everyone uses it, from teenagers to adults, everyone is always online browsing or searching. Why do us humans have such a huge reliance on the internet? What was it like in the 20th century without it, because apparently people and businesses survived before.

The Fact that the internet was never created or designed for how it is being is used is mind boggling. How could something that wasn't meant for global use become this big in such a short amount of time. The internet has already evolved significantly in the past ten years. There is no saying what the internet will be like in the future. I cant even imagine how much the internet will transform five years from now.
