I recently researched the thoughts and ideas coming out of the think tanks around the world.
Most people within the digital industry tell you that they are already working in "dog years" where seven years of technical advancement happen every year so, over the next ten years, we can look forward to 70 years worth of advancement.
They say it took radio 38 years to reach an audience of 50 million people, TV took 13 years, the Internet took four, Facebook took just two years!
For more interesting facts about the Web and the world, take a look at the amazing short video link titled DO YOU KNOW? at the bottom of the article.
Lets start by scaring us all and just say the WWW is going to get very, very (lets add another!) very powerful and, more interestingly, smart. The "Big Brother" theory is already here but soon it will be joined by a host of siblings that will suggest infinitely smarter skills and knowledge.
Thought leaders in Silicon Valley are all talking about the Web in 2020 not only being super intelligent, but also being faster than the fastest thing on earth you can imagine right now: nano seconds look slow compared to what we can expect!
These "New (Web) Romantics" are discussing a type of Internet, far more powerful and clever that the current one. One example is that the Web in 2020 will impress us by letting you video link up with all your friends at the same time, who can then choose to watch a video on something that interests you all, put there by a complete stranger on the other side of the world, who can then enter into an online dialogue with all of you: how's that for social networking?
YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and the host of other social networks and blogs that fall within the world of 'Web 2.0' may be beginning to infiltrate the mainstream users but to those whose new romantic vision lets them see the Web in 2020 and beyond, they are just a broken pixel in a much larger picture.
By 2020, the WWSW (World Wide Super Web) will hook up every piece of our digital lives -- be it a website, an e-mail, SMS message, TV programme or a simple file on our PC -- to every other aspect. It will instantly recognise, for instance, when you are typing an e-mail, what the subject and body copy of the e-mail is all about and then present, inside the screen you are looking at, website facts, information, research and e-books, as well as any documents, photos and videos you have saved or looked at recently, that may be relevant to that topic.
Picture-taking will also become a lot more interesting with instant face recognition technology being introduced by the mobile phone companies: software will instantly name tag and notify them if it recognises anyone within your registered social networks.
