Will the internet always be important?

I know that we as humans always want to move on to better technologies, but I have been debating this for a while.

Will the internet be as necessary to life as electricity (which people have used for many years)? Or will it fade out like many technologies of the past (like facsimilies and pagers)?

Probably will be..

Is it more like a permanent thing? or like a technology that will fade out?

I agree, but couldn't the same thing be said about faxes? It's the best thing since the mail system?

Not in it's current form.kamikaze_pigmy

Why not? What do you feel it needs to be more of a "future proof" technology?

Yes, always.

Count on it.

It's the internet way of saying a puppy. You know, little kids say "goggy" instead of "doggy" or "puppy".

in the future you'll probably be able to access it anywhere for free, like an ATM on the wall in town :P

No, we dont need to buy encyclopedias, we dont need to wait weeks to know a war has started, we can now comunicate with people across the world. It changed humanity for the better. Just think about how many times the internet has made your life easier. kipohippo021

That's very true.

Tc, if you want to learn more about how the internet would change our lives. Id strongly suggest watching all three episodes of 2057. It was made in 2007, showing what the world might be like in 50 years. I know its not accurate, but how could it be. Anyway, it really shows how the internet could change us.

That would be nice, but by then, I think most of us will have smartphones anyways.

No, it will be replaced by the super Internet, which will be known as the Inter Web. I don't think the Internet is important, it's just the most interesting form of entertainment currently available.

For example you can play a game on line and watch some other user's Internet connection kick your ass.

[QUOTE="flash_drive"]Internet ruined everything.kamikaze_pigmy

The internet is a world in and of itself. I think its here to stay.

Of course its important, because everyone knows:

yeah. without internet i cant play little big planet with my friends :cry:

[QUOTE="kamikaze_pigmy"][QUOTE="flash_drive"]Internet ruined everything.flash_drive

Yes. The term file will replace the term book someday. Most kids know what a computer file is before they know the oceans.
