The internet has developed so fast! Things we imagined 10 years ago have come and gone within 5 years. We can only fantasize about the future.
People inventing umbrellas in Japan where you can surf the internet as you walk, Microsoft surface where everything moves with a touch. People talk about computers becoming the size of watches. That sounds like fantasy, but maybe in the next 7 years it will reality.
Wireless entertainment available 24/7/365 at levels of quality unimaginable today. Television will be where the biggest changes take place. Download anything you like to any digital device. And of course, more and more of what we do today, but with better systems that provide easier, faster and higher quality products and services. Just like the Automobile revolution, today cars still have 4 wheels as they did at the beginning, but today the go faster, are more comfortable, more secure, more of everything....yet the initial concept is still pretty much the same.
Remote monitoring of health enabling better prevention of diseases.
Maybe, in the future, you will be able to design your own car through the internet. You make an order from a car company, but choose your color, style, any additions to the car, personalized seats, choose your engine: Eco- friendly.

Or how about doctors from Moscow, Berlin and New york doing heart transplant along with local doctors on a patient in south Africa. Medicine may become more advanced and more lives could be saved.
Maybe Google will take over the world and we will all become slaves to it's power. Never know. There are so many possibilities the future holds for the internet, some may sound absurd and become real, while others may sound possible yet not come about. That''s why the future is what it is, unpredictable.
