Title

The Future Internet

Abstract

The Internet is fast evolving into a dimension of its own. Each day sees new technologies and new ideas being created and evolving into the Internet Domain.

The Internet in itself is a growing, a self contained Virtual Universe, comparable to the physical planet we live in today. Most of what we can see and experience in the real physical world today can be moved into this Parallel Virtual Universe, with a potential to increase the experience, provide better flexibility, deepen accessibility and allow seamless expandability.

This Virtual Universe covers almost every domain in the physical world today. This includes the Social Media, eCommerce, Cybersecurity, Governance, Communications, and Gaming, just to name a few. This talk will focus on the Future Internet, starting with the past, present and eventually focusing on the future of what the Internet will look like in this Virtual Universe. What the future brings is only limited by the power of imagination.
