The future of the internet

Here are my thought on the topic...
- Publishing seems to be moving towards (bandwidth-intensive) video. Blogs, etc... may move towards video, and text and image recognition might make the contents of a video searchable. For example, in the future, if you search for "i love you", the videos containing that sentence will show up (along with a reference to the correct position in the video where it is heard) without the uploading having to actually tag the video himself, thanks to speech and image recognition. Youtube is already experimenting with the techlology.

- Along with voice recognition, hopefully AI will finally pick up and we will have smarter, more human like interfaces thanks to advances in computing and language research.

To have an idea about the future of the internet that the researcher are coming up with, I invite you to watch these video of some conference about the future of internet:

Thanks for sharing that rolf, that is very interesting indeed.

Well its still limited to a number of special videos where i think the sound quality should be really high and the english or the language spoken is understandable by the speech recognition program.
So i guess user made videos or low quality videos wont be supported.

That's true, today Internet has paved the path to such a world that has been moving very fast and within seconds you could be communicating and sharing your data with the person at the other end. The technology has come a long way and is used in different fields. It would not be long before all your dealing and communication with even the person next door will occur via the Internet. The business boom that you can see with the stepping of Internet is the area that has progressed the most.
