GeekUp + Future of the Internet
At tonight’s GeekUp (Briton’s Protection – just 50 yards from the usual venue – 6pm), there is another social discussion event. This time, another area I spend a lot of time thinking about is up for consideration. From the announcement:
Discussion Topic: “The Future of the Internet”
- How do you see people using the internet in 5/10 years time?
- What features do you want to see browsers supporting?
- Will people still be using browsers? If not, what will they be using?
- Does anyone actually use 3G video chat? Will VoIP mainstream
follow too?- Will Google always be the number one search engine?
- Will Google be even bigger? Perhaps it might run our lives …
- Will IPv6 actually be adopted by the masses?
- Anyone up for a 3G wireless dongle biometric implant to hook your
memory up to the net?!- Semantic Web – is it the future? what does it mean?
How we intend to get through that lot in a couple of hours I have no idea. I expect I will be writing up notes and reporting back tomorrow if people can’t make it, but if you can make it, you should.
