Have you ever thought that you would be able to observe your loved ones’ actions through a laptop’s screen, even when you are geographically separated by thousands of miles? Have you ever wondered how it is possible to check exactly how long more your bus to school will be arriving? Needless to say, the Internet has allowed us to experience all these seemingly bizarre yet exciting advancements. The uses of Internet is so captivating that even up till this very day, we are still reliant on the Internet to a very large extend.
Ever since the inception of the phenomenal technology of the Internet, everyone around the world have the key to access to it. The computer - a revolutionary tool for everyone in the past and now, was once a very useful machine even without the Internet. However, it was usually just used for programming and text based operations and required an endless amount of manual work. But at the current moment, with the outstanding popularity of the Internet, the humble computer can now sometimes even be regarded as something useless without it. The Internet is deemed as ‘cool’ and ‘the best communication medium’, its connection has open doors, enhanced and altered many aspects of society, relating to Education, Medical Industries, Business Organizations, Transportation, and Interpersonal Communication. It is undeniable that we are constantly in awe of the new and fresh Internet tools that have dominated the market thus far. But, the question is will the innovation and novelties of the Internet world continue or will the Internet subside slowly as time goes by?
In my last blog post, I hope to show you my answer by offering you predictions of the Future of the Internet – How the Technology of Internet will be in Time to Come.

The Glass Surface Technology, presented by Corning Incorporated, is the future of the Internet. That is, a semantic technology concept which enables users to be connected to the network virtually anywhere and anytime.
Currently, accessing the Internet through our computers is restricted to locations that have Wi-Fi or LAN; locations such as our homes, workplaces or ‘hotspots’. This restriction does not allow us to share documents instantaneously anywhere, anytime and thus, defeating the purpose of the Internet. Despite the introduction of 3G on smart phones, such as apple iPhone and blackberry, sharing of files through 3G is still restricted to what functions the smart phones have. In addition, sharing of files through the smart phones’ 3G or Wi-Fi can be rather unreliable and slow, and then again, defeating the purpose of the Internet.
The Glass Surface Technology is the solution to how the Internet can be fully utilized. Given its highly interactive, connectivity, interoperability and easy accessibility properties, we will be able to access the Internet anywhere and anytime through the integration of any device. With this technology, many aspects will be enhanced and thus, bring extreme convenience to the future population.
This is the Hand Gesture + Holotable Technology. The high accessibility and ease of using this technology is just phenomenal! It would really help the sector of Architecture and Landscape design, and even the Military when they need to plan routes or building designs. For online businesses, it will allow the customer to actually see the clothing in a 3D dimension! I believe that is every girl's dream :) To be able to see the actual product, EVEN IF they are shopping through the comfort of their home.
Basically, the future of the Internet will be termed by these words: Smart, Customizable, Self-sustaining, Intelligent, Interactive & Extendable.

The major advancements and changes that are observed and predicted are actually how we have utilized that phenomenal medium. The trend that we noticed is that the Internet basically helps us to be connected to one another by integrating various types of technology together. In turn, we have predicted that more and more aspects of our lives, such as transport, our community and business organizations, will be seamlessly integrated and made more ubiquitous.
Someday it would be great if instead of being e-mail, it would just be called mail. Instead of being e-commerce it will just be called commerce, just because it is so ubiquitous that it is just taken for granted, much as we take for granted electricity or water or other kinds of utilities.
The truth is that men are inquisitive and always forwarding, many absurd inventions have been created even up till today, what's more in the future? When people are so much more advanced, informed and have such rich resources to draw from?
Who knows what would be next?
There is, also another technology that I believe would be extremely useful and rewarding for the public.
