How do you see the Future of Web?

Mobile Web Internet

I feel we have seen just the beginning. In 10 years time there will be many more location-aware services available via mobile devices; such as getting personalized shopping offers as you walk through your local mall, or getting map directions while driving your car, or hooking up with your friends on a Friday night. Many companies will become key mobile portals, alongside the mobile operators & much more.

Mobile web will definitely revolutionize the way things are done now..... :)

Great Idea Contest from Aparna & amazing ideas from others.......

This is a trend that has already exploded on the Web, but you still get the sense there's a lot more to come yet. In October 2006 Google acquired the hottest online video property on the planet, YouTube. Later on that same month, news came out that the founders of Kazaa and Skype were building an Internet TV service, nicknamed The Venice Project (later named Joost). In 2007, YouTube continues to dominate. Meanwhile Internet TV services are slowly getting off the ground.  Also in India we just saw the launch of Tata photon with more than 50 channels in its service so surely Internet TV or Online TV is going to be the future of web, in future mobile phones becoming travelling TV's and with 3G setting its foot in India later this year surely online TV is the future.

Rich Internet Apps - I expect to see rich internet apps continue to increase in use and functionality. The advantage of Rich Internet Apps allows sophisticated effects and transitions that are important in keeping the user engaged. This means developers will be able to take the amazing changes in the Web for granted and start focusing on a flawless experience for the users. It is going to be an exciting time for anyone involved in building the new Web, because the interfaces are finally catching up with the content.

The year 2008 was first when the trend of Social Networking APIs took off. All of us witnessed the rising of the Social Network APIs in 2009. Almost all the web services allow some form of API integration to other systems such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc.

The APIs have been still developed by developers and these useful API's won't leave our lives. Social Network APIs will make easier to use internet and be more easier to use than the heavy developer-centric system in 2010.

In future there will 90% daily work on internet and I best thing is if person start using web for daily purpose such as seeing TV on Internet,Paying bill online ,Money transfer also.then there Power will be automatically saved and lot of things because of web we save.But we have challenge of one thing is security only if this will cover then there is bright future for web

right from the method of sending mails ( or waves ) to twitting or status updating to accessing news and chatting etc ... all will come in a seamless manner .The faster it comes will make all the difference and this term will be widely used for different purposes .

Crazy thought... but i see it happening....

in the future.... there wud be a high demand for Web spaces, Online Social Netwokring sites will come up with new ways of marketing their space for ads... with a veryTarget centric view... Facebook, iBibo, TooStep... all will have paid profiles for products... and new ways to interact with the customer...

The space is going to be sold out... ONLINE stores are going to be dedicated for Sales of all kinds... and in busy metros... they are gonna track your home products and get ur list delivered to ur place when u are at work...

itsgoing to be more of the virtual reality....

People are going to live on the internet... socialiose with people miles away... have a form and body on the virtual world.. and be who they are not in real life....

Whatsoever form it may take up in future, people will depend more on web. Mean to say, services they expect from people, society, organisation etc & their interaction will be more. Why not , balloting (election voting) can be through web from home.

Beside E-commerce more precisely E-business, social and professional networking, e messaging, online business promotion, marketing and advertisement, RIA which are already in vogue, next level of Internet revolution could see more of collaboration in geographically remote work places, where different professionals spread over geographically diverse areas would work together over various projects in real time.

earing all that in mind, here are 10 Web trends to look out for over the next 10 years...

1. Semantic Web

2. Artificial Intelligence

3. Virtual Worlds

4. Mobile

5. Attention Economy

6. Web Sites as Web Services

7. Online Video / Internet TV

8. Rich Internet Apps

9. International Web

10. PersonalizationWe've covered a lot of ground in this post, so tell us know what you think of our predictions. What other Web trends do you forsee over the next decade?

wireless internet should be enabled all over the world without any limit,

since every one can easily access internet and save time to travel for paying their bills like electricity ,telephone , purchase in supermarket, internet bills, water all those stuffs http://www.bigcarrots.com

I think the future of the web remain in Cloud Computing.This is the technology where we dint need Desktop,Laptop or any kind of PC.Without using any hardware device we can access any web application on Cloud and near future there will not be any Desktop application ,only we need a Global Identification Number(GUID) through which we can use web application.

I feel the future of web is just about to bloom,the idea of online databse only grows bigger and unavoidable with every step defining a great leap towards it. I think databases will be more secure and will be accessible to every mankind for the conception of greater global village idea.Also ther are scopes for introducing smart browsers and servers which can manipulate the way we think today,creating a whole new phenomenon,just add some I.Q.,its not impossible,i think....

Yeah i see the rich application through the flash oriented application. Right now i could see fully flex incorporated web site. So rich application is always win.

The optical cable will be able to transmit about 10GB/sec (both ways). This ultra high transmission rate will help both personal and business operations like sharing/editing files, movies(HD ,Blue-Ray) etc the sky is the limit. Not to mention, websites can be made more heavy (in terms of download size) so they can give better user experience encompassing all the above ideas.

The Internet can be benefit a global scale just as much as it can locally. For example, as a Doctorate student I am in my now beginning my second year. I chose to take my PhD online rather than study in the classroom because it was more beneficial to me. I have met more persons that have provided me with guidance on leadership. I also believe the Internet will expand in the distance teaching area and there also will be an expansion with businesses doing more WAN so there is the capability of telework. Final thoughts, I feel the Internet will provide more capability to scholars and researchers so there can be seeking for matters of medicine, social behavior, and psychology issues.

I see the web going two ways both online service oriented. The back bone like always will remain surfing for info. But I feel that sooner or later it will split to high security and low security. High security will control most of work and banking and such things where as low security will involve more personal aspects like social networking.

I am ardent believer that Mobile Web is going to be the  key driver for growth
