Week 13 - Future of Internet

The internet... i think it's overrated. Yes it does brings lots of convenience and changes, and yes now we teens can't survive without the web and yes there are rampant virus and hackers out there to destroy the system for evil or just for fun.

But still, can we truly rely on the web for everything in the future? Will bedtime stories be just a Youtube video for our children? Will knowing someone means being friends with them on Facebook? Will having conversation is just by typing rather face to face?

They might happen. But i don't really think with all these changes, it will provide a better life for us all. Human are meant to communicate face to face. If we replace that with machines, i believe relationships will be less meaningful and fulfilling. I'm spending more time on the web than talking to my pals. And i can say this really harms my relationships with them sometimes.

So I'm not looking forward to the future to the internet as a form of replacing human communication. But i am interested in the interesting gadgets that are involved in our lives. =D Like TED - the future six sense?
