What if the Internet were 100 times faster than it is today? How would this super-high-speed connectivity affect the economy, health care and education?
The Pew Research Center, a nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C., recently posed these questions to experts in a range of Internet-related fields. Predictions about what the future Internet landscape could look like in the year 2025, with blazing-fast connectivity, ran the gamut from pragmatic to fantastical. While some experts envisioned a future in which business meetings take place via 3D hologram, another predicted the rise of immersive 3D pornography.
“These experts generally believe that, if technological change advances as they expect, it will bring about the types of connectivity humans have been dreaming about for quite some time,” said Janna Anderson, co-author of the new Pew report and director of the Imagining the Internet Center at Elon University in North Carolina.
