Where do you think the internet is going in the next 20 years?

[BigToque]

Do you think we will access it in the same methods? Will computers still use the IP number system?

 

[gigapet]

it will be fully integrated into our brains at all times. and i dont believe PCs will exist/

 

[Linflas]

IPV6 and fiber to the house.

 

[spidey07]

of course it will still use IP

where is it going? fully integrated content (voice, video, data) on demand from anywhere.

 

[upsciLLion]

one thing i never understood was the whole concept of EVERYTHING having and IP address:
your blender
each individual tire on your car
your pants
and what not

what exactly would be the point of that?

but what is the benefit of giving your front left tire its own IP address?

i suppose it could tell you when its low on air, but to me that seems lazy, and imagine if you had everything going off at once-
-the tire is low on air
-you have X gallons of gas in your tank
-your radiator fluid is at a certain level
-your oil is at a certain level
and so forth

and thats just for your car

seems pretty annoying to me
