Future of Internet and Technology?

Future = money.

What will the next 10 to 100 years bring?

It’s hard to imagine that the state of technology will keep progressing exponentially over that time period. At least for me. I keep thinking we’re going to run up against some stumbling block - like not being able to make computers any faster than they are… but I’ve been wrong the last five years. According to Google employees Alfred Spector, VP Engineering, and Franz Och, Research Scientist I’ll continue to be wrong well into the future.

Of course it’s no secret that there are ungodly amounts of money fueling the technical revolution and it’s nowhere near slowing down.

As part of their 10 year anniversary celebration Google asked a group of 10 of their experts to write about the future. You can find these articles here in one long list:

10 Google Experts Predict Future of Internet & Technology

When taken altogether, it’s mindblowing what the future might look like.

Apparently they all think that the people of the world will keep steadily progressing toward sharing more and more information about themselves through the devices they own - never reaching some sort of saturation point. At least none was mentioned.

After I read the article I was left thinking that I hope the world doesn’t get like this. The virtual world - that conveyed by electronic and other means, will become a large part of reality. I hate television as it is. That’s too much unreality that’s getting shoved down everyone’s throats now. If the future actually turns out like these guys are predicting I think I’ll not own any electronic gadgets.

In fact, I think there will be a subgroup of people that start to resist and that does just that - refuses to be part of the virtual world because it’s killing real interactions between human beings by replacing them with virtual ones.

What fun is that? Apparently Google thinks big fun.

Big money in the future anyway, yes?
