Re: What the web will look like in 5 years

Google CEO Eric Schmidt was interviewed at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo Orlando 2009 and explained his vision of the internet in 5 years. He tells the thousands of CIOs and IT Directors what different aspects will shape the future web. Some highlights he talked about include the domination of chinese language content, broadband well above 100MB in performance and content pointed more towards video. One aspect he mentioned grabbed my attention: teenagers are the model of how the web will work- they jump from app to app to app seamlessly. I agree with this statement. I believe teenagers are really the ones who understand computers and the internet the best, because they're growing up with this technology. It's not something new thats being introduced to them at a late age like most adults. If the internet is molded around how teenagers use them then it would be right to say that it will be the best its ever been.
