Technology and the Future of the Internet
Welcome to Online Forever
Online Forever is a site dedicated to the discussion of technology and the Internet phenomena which has swept the world in recent years. In such a short space of time we have come from 14.4bps noisy modems to 24b ADSL households, fitted with wireless connections with mum, dad, the kids and even Gran getting in on the act.
With people seeing the joys of instant information and answers, real-time communication with friends and relatives living hundreds of miles away, we can not envisage a time when the internet will cease.
As the world of technology is moving at such a fast pace, Onlineforever.co.uk is only interested in the bold questions and wants to ask “What next?” What is the future of the internet? If history has taught us anything then we know that something will follow and be of greater benefit to us than the internet currently is.
We have some ideas of what this new way of living might be and we would like to share our thoughts with our visitors in the coming weeks, months and years.
The question can therefore be phrased differently: “Online forever? Yes but How?
We will see what the future of the internet looks like.
