Where do you see the net in 5 years?
 

What will be different onlinein 5 years?

Killed by Bush.

hahahah put on the tinfoil hat

on a bigger screen

exactly the same, but domain prices will be raised...

ICANN will not be the domain name authority.

A higher number of sponsors will not be US-based.

Transaction processing (tho expect changes there) will be predominantly based within the EU.




Give or take a few years on that five

Agree with all of those minus the 1st one.

I also expect lots of "Affiliate Programs" to close up as things move up...Darwinism will play a huge role.

Lots of heat will be brougth towards spam (alot alot more than now) and spyware.

Also VISA will try to screw the current models and TGP traffic = pro-freeloading (with ratios much much worse than nowadays)

Social Networks and Anonymus P2P will play a important role in illegal software distribution

etc..etc..:2 cents:

PPS sites will offer only $1 per sale and RevShare sites will only offer 1/99 split.

nice photo!

I'd say overall the past 5 years things online have become pretty homogenous and the collective IQ seems to divide by half every year.

So looking forward 5 years later = probablly pretty boring, stupid, pointless shit.

For adult = a whole shitload of new rules, a lot more competition and lower margins, not to mention a lot more theives, scam artists, and cokeheads.

I see the net in 5 years as GOD

and that's REALLY FUCKED UP

I do!!!!!

Im going to be bankin in 5 yearso

Reason I mention "ICANN will not be the domain name authority" Rui is that it does not represent other nations and tho the US Admin already agreed to reliquish the role of ICANN in autumn 2006, - they then broke that agreement.

There are now moves by other nations to take control as a unified international body and bring some democracy to this area of the net. After all, we are talking about their own TLD's!

In reality - who knows.. this can end up back at stage one if an international org gets out of control. :winkwink:

In future computers and networks will be so smart, fast, and interactive with humans, so there will be no need for domains.

Moses will have everyone on the payroll...now that's scary!

I agree, although i don't think the domain will die, just be used less. Integrated networking software will also spawn more subnetworks and it could go back to the point we were at years ago when people asked if you were on AOL. You could be on the internet, but if you didn't have AOL you were missing out on their network of information and applications. Now, I think the open internet as we know it will be the Usenet of the past.

Maybe not 5 years but soon afterwards.

more like tv big productions

?????? please, do not post in my threads without using better grammar and putting more thought into the post

mobile mobile mobile

sorry but I believe the majority of people would rather use a computer than a handheld to surf the net. I am one. I think for the sanity of humanity we need to have clear and separate lines between internet life and real life. Internet time and people time.
