The next big thing that people will make money with.

The next big thing that people will make money with.

This is a prediction I have.

The internet will die. It in many ways has. Governments around the world want to control it and introduced law after law and age verification and so on.

Porn sites are dying as models take over by doing such as only fans, but as new laws kick in, these sites will die.

Websites are dying as Google sends traffic to advertisers.

Basically the internet is sort of split into 3 sections.

A backend for phone apps. Most people I suspect no longer use websites snd now just use apps. As such the internet is basically a backend for the data.

YouTube and social media. But the problem they have is adverts todo not work very well. Unlike TV where people watched them, most people just skip the online adverts and they do not have the impact. Plus often they are cheap or ai junk. In time less and less firms will advertise. We will probably see such as YouTube and so on turn to membership options.

Business. Such as email. And sites to sell products. But these are being replaced by phone apps.

So what do I predict will be the next big thing?

It will probably be a offline net. Such as mesh systems.

For those who do not know. They have two main mesh types. These are offline methods to send text messages to others. They do this by sending the message to a near by device that then send the message on and on. Until it hits the person it is intended to.

These are very early stages. And the software is being updated all the time.

At the moment it’s just basic text. But I could see systems improving. Even if they are no more than a message board system.

It probably will take a few years before it becomes mainstream. But like the internet, those who get in early and find ways to use it, could be the ones who make the cash from it.

The advantage is that it is probably almost impossible for governments to control.
