There’s little doubt that the Internet is now an integral part of our daily lives. In fact, it’s hard to imagine our fate without Internet. Whether its education, entertainment, business or communication, the Internet has proven to be a blessing for humans in more ways than one. To that effect, I always wonder where the Internet is heading in the next three years and what would be the new face of Internet in year 2015.

Need for Speed

With advancements in technology, Internet speeds keep getting better each year. Whether it’s LTE or other 4G technologies, the need for speed game has proven to be a game changer for the Internet. I would expect Internet to serve as a superfast Information highway in the next 3 years. In fact, going forward, I foresee that accessing the Internet would be as speed as accessing information off your computer.

Internet TV

The line between TV and Internet is bridging fast. Though Internet TV has made its presence felt in the developing world, it’s still an exception rather than a norm in third world countries. I expect Internet TV to emerge as a clear winner over cable TV in the next three years. However, it would be interesting to see how the Internet copes with the bandwidth intensive demands of the TV industry.

Education

I expect the Internet to redefine the education sector in the next three years. Whether its students taking online lessons on their iPads in schools and colleges or the use of video conferencing technology to conduct educational webinars, I believe Internet will be at the core of the education sector in the next 3 years. Though paper books will still exist, Internet will emerge as the primary education medium.
