The new internet, what are your thoughts?

Adapt or die.

It's a click away or you could go this way both are game changers.

for sure both game changers, lots of things will change in this landscape

Better ways to communicate and financial transactions with less scams is what we need.

The internet now is evolving into what it should be.

And what is that?

I can see what the speaker Dcat posted is talking about. Even though he's a bit extreme. The Internet has become a a big resource, big businesses and Governments like to control things like that.

The days of a "Free Internet" are IMO numbered.

I agree and its all good, I think it has some big business potentials for each of us here but it requires to be sharp and continuously adapt.

I've got an idea that I think will absolutely skyrocket in terms of popularity in a few western countries.

It's not even that expensive a proposition (i'm looking at $12k for domain, design, with another few $k on advertising). It panders to itself.

We are there soon.

I mean, it's obvious it's hard to get rich doing nothing. All this dot com sales to google and so on, was started with millions of venture capital. If you can make millions of money with porn now, starting with a broadband connection. Declare yourself king.

I don't think the internet will become paid. I have a download speed of 91 MB/sec. An upload speed of almost 17 MB/sec. The internet is widely developed here in sweden. And so far no changes has been seen more, than faster broadband...and swedish newschannels got a lot of video clips for you, too. I could also follow the wedding of crown princess victoria in my country, completely free online june 19. Which I did. And it went flawless.

I believe more of TV online (with a big thumbs up), and more of renting movies online. Dowloading computer games online. And pay for it that way. That's the future right now.

If you want a new business model. direct downloads of computer games, movies and music. Along with something like justin.tv but cleaner. Be the first to hook up major tv stations to the Internet, and make silly money...

Big $$$

People are tired of being freebie seekers.
Too. At least in my country.

There are cheap alternativs to free music here.

i think i've missed the memo, please send me an invite

I have got THE ultimate game changing idea that will revolutionize the way everything is done by everyone. It has so much potential to literally change the way we live our lives in every positive way that you can think of! Unfortunately, I don't know which idea exactly it is and I won't be able to figure it out until somebody else does it first... When that happens I'll post about it here to let you know I was trying to do it before them....
