The Internet of the future is not easily predictable. Yet there are trends today that can provide clear indications. Assoprovider unveils five scenarios on the future of the Network.

What will the Internet of the future be like? The work of providers is very delicate. They must be skilled at adapting to existing technologies to provide the best Internet services. And at the same time, they must be able to anticipate web trends. The world changes quickly and the evolutions of the Internet are fast and already underway, even if we often do not notice them.

In this post, we have tried to imagine what the future of the Internet will be like in the coming years. Here are five possible scenarios.

1. LiFi retires wifi

Do you know what LiFI is? It is a technology that uses LED light as a connection channel. Here is a simple explanation of how it works: there is a LED lamp and a device that recognizes the light signal. The digital message is encoded and converted into light intervals.

The advantages of technology are numerous:

• • • Higher speed: The light spectrum promises a speed 10,000 times faster than traditional radio waves. In a test in 2015, LiFi reached a maximum speed of 50 gigabytes per second.
    • Use in enclosed environments: LiFi could also be used in airports or hospitals, as it does not interfere with equipment like wifi radio waves do.
    • Greater security: LiFi cannot pass through room walls, so no one could steal your data and put it at risk. the integrity of your online data.

  2. Internet enhances everyone's reality

  There is much talk about virtual and augmented reality. After the not-so-successful experiment of Google Glass, all the major tech companies are exploring new ways to bring these technologies to a mass market. Microsoft with HoloLens, Oculus Rift, the startup acquired by Facebook for 2 billion dollars, are just some of the most funded projects in recent years.

  If they succeed in creating user-friendly products, augmented and virtual reality will become natural in the future. Then users will access the Internet and, through lenses and viewers, will be able to travel to exotic places, chat with friends in virtual rooms, and shop on the Network, viewing products in 3D.

  3. The Internet is in things

  Today, the Internet of Things is already a reality. Refrigerators, alarm clocks, watches, lighting systems, all objects can be connected to the Network, communicate with each other, and cooperate. In the next 10 years, this trend will extend to everything, wallets, medical devices, up to cars. Connected transportation will be a godsend and will make driving much safer through automation systems.

  All major brands in the automotive industry are already experimenting with self-driving cars. Tesla, is a cut above the rest, its connected and "driverless" cars have demonstrated in tests conducted so far to reduce accidents by 40%.

  4. Voice, the new UI

  In the future of the Internet, "voice" and virtual assistants will dominate. Echo, the Amazon cylinder that you can control via voice, asking it to play a song, inform you about the weather forecast, convert units of measurement, has achieved great success... Not to mention the virtual assistants we already have on our smartphones, like Siri, which we ask to find a number in the address book and make a call. In the future of the Internet, these systems will be increasingly improved, with the elimination of all the imperfections they have today.

  Voice is set to replace "touch," and all future software will be evaluated based on their ability to respond to voice commands. In other words, voice will be used to assess the UI, the user's "user experience."

  5. Connected even from the universe

  Of all the predictions, this is the most science fiction-like, yet it has a basis in truth. Earth will no longer be the only planet connected to the Network. Future humans will be able to connect to the Internet even from Mars! This is the project of the visionary Elon Musk. The entrepreneur has been working for years on the colonization of the Red Planet. Travelers or residents of Mars will be able to communicate with their loved ones on Earth through the Network.
