10 years out from now, who knows for sure but one thing is for sure :
we can't bet the farm that it'll be here in 10 years!
Based on the number of things that have come and gone in my life time I
don't expect any thing/situation to last forever. No way.
My guess would be that websites will still exist but the number of people who use
a computer to access the web will shrink dramatically.
Using a computer is anti-social and people are going to grow tired of this
isolated life style.
Apps will explode in multiple devices however.
Examples :
- your synthesizer will auto access the web to get sound/software upgrades from the
manufacture's website.
- You will use a "Diagnostic Plug" to connect your car to the web to run diagnostic
test on the vehicle to save money on fake repairs.
- Your burger franchise equipment will log on the web to calibrate to company wide
recommendations so that each restaurant is consistently good.
- etc...
In other words : put a computer inside a device and the manufacturer will simply
make up a reason for the device to access the web.
IE : "How many people who bought out product actually turned it on".
Cable connections will probably vanish in 10 years; because it's smart to look
at and expand satellite usage.
