Thurs marks the second last of Dr Choy's lecture. The future of the internet is unpredictable. We will always be surprised by the next innovation or invention.
Dr Abel showed us a video about a new invention by the Japanese: the umbrella that has internet.
I was thrilled and amused at the same the time by the invention. Japanese always come up with the quirkest innovations!
Anyway, internet would be so prevalent that using it would be almost at no cost, as long as you have the device to, whether it is a mobile phone, a tablet pc, a laptop, basically anything under the sun that allows one to log on to the network!
10 years down the road, information is going to be more transparent than ever because curbing or limiting information access by authorities have proved to be futile. People will grow to be more alike of one another because information are shared and exchanged.
10 years from now, internet will be intrusive into lives as we began to spend most part of our time surfing the internet. Socialising, entertainment, work, even playing sports may be done without even stepping out of the house. With the use of avatar and projected images, many of us will start to live and work more in the virtual world than the real world. Well, think of Bruce Wilis's surrogates!
Also, 10 years down the road, television and radio will be redundant. People will be too preoccupied with the net to devote any attention to other 'old' media.
