The future of internet -- Comment()
Today I submitted a three-page article about the future of internet to a Finnish magazine. The article will appear in the 20th anniversary issue of the magazine. It was revealing to think about internet in the years 2009 and 2019. I selected these years based on 40 and 50 years from the first developments of Arpanet in 1969. In addition to these future scenarios I was able to touch grid computing, insecurity of networks and computers, and the .Mac service by Apple. I also presented a list of questions to those who will shape the future of internet. And finally I made a timeline of internet from 1969 to 2003. In addition, I was fortunate to get new photographs of working with computer models in a cave environment. In all, I'm satisfied with the process of discovery which this writing assignment presented. I hope the readers will be similarly pleased.
