By 2025, the Internet will flow through our lives “like electricity,”
according to experts polled on the future of the Internet. Mobile,
wearable, and embedded computing will be linked in the so-called
Internet of Things so that people and their environment can tap into
artificial intelligence-enhanced cloud-based information storage and
sharing, reports Pew Research Center. The report on “Digital Life in
2025” is from the U.S.-based think tank to mark the 25th anniversary of
the creation of the World Wide Web by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who wrote a
paper on March 12, 1989 proposing an “information management” system. That paper evolved into framework for the web.
“With mobile technologies and information- sharing apps becoming ubiquitous, we can expect some significant improvement in the awareness of otherwise illiterate and ill-informed rural populations to opportunities missed out by manipulative and corrupt governments. Like the Arab Spring, we can expect more and more uprisings to take place as people become more informed and able to communicate their concerns.”
All 7-plus billion humans on this planet will sooner or later be 'connected' to each other and fixed destinations, via the Uber(not Inter)net. That can lead to the diminished power over people’s lives within nation-states. When every person on this planet can reach, and communicate two-way, with every other person on this planet, the power of nation- states to control every human inside its geographic boundaries may start to diminish.”
