Vinton Cerf talks about the future of the internet
What better time to release your thoughts and hopes for the future than the 10th birthday of what has been the most successful online company of all time?
Vint Cerf has long been regarded as something of a guru at Google with his predictions for the future of the internet often grabbing the headlines, but is he now seeing the internet superhighway through rose tinted spectacles?
As you might expect Vint Cerf is predicting that 70% of the worlds population will have access to either fixed line or mobile internet services over the next 10 years at speeds which will put today's limits to shame (he is predicting upwards of 1 gigabits per second). He is also adamant that we will see everyday home appliances and other electronic equipment linked to the internet, offering total control wherever you may be.
