I'd would be unwise to assume that the internet is going to stay the way it is. Alan Kay tells us that if we want to know what the future is going to be like, we need to create it.

However, to create it, we need to have a vision about how the internet is going to be like.

How do you see the future of the internet?

I'll start. I see that all information flows are going to be open. Anything on any website can be read and written, commented on, and processed, in a completely decentralized manner. The net is going to form into one global brain, and AI is not going to emerge as a separate intelligence, but as our collective intelligence. If we were able to connect our intelligence efficiently, all the worlds "problems" would be solved "overnight". If you've read Buckminster Fuller, you know the idea of doing more with less. I believe we can all have a life that is so much better for all of us, we just need to have the right information; the internet is going to assist us with this.
