I haven't read the 40odd replies... my opinion is the net & TV will pretty much be all as one.

Which in my opinion can only be good for paysites, I think as websites they'll pretty much evolve into TV Channels.

Keep in mind, the generation growing up now has and will always have the internet as a key part of their life (socializing, entertainment and education). To think that these kids won't always want to be connected is just plain naive.

Always connected is one thing. But mobile will never overtake conventional means of internet access. Surfing the net on your phone isn't efficient at all. It's a novelty.

The internet was a novelty in 95, look at it now.

Of course there is always going to be room for the home computer, and your mobile device. But to not expect mobile internet use will not dramatically rise in the next five years is the same mistake that all the media giants made when the internet started to emerge.

Mobile internet use will rise in correlation with the continuing success of the cell phone industry. Sure there is a market, and it is worth your time. But other areas will experience much greater growth. A cell phone is not a laptop.

Its plain naive to thing that a normal well adjusted human being would want to be always connected.

what is your definition of dramatic? And mobile internet use? Yes, for checking sports scores and IM'ing your 14 year old friends it will rise dramatically.

big brother will be watching you through the net.

that's happening now...remember the Internet is a DoD project
