Future of the Internet

In today’s fast- paced and rapid changing society, it seems like we are constantly being introduced to revolutionizing new technologies. Such news are too numerous to mention one by one about the growth of the network and equipment like the growth of tablets, the introduction of groundbreaking smartphone, and a host of other new internet- based offering. Howeversome devices which people already familiar with are withdrawing from their sight gradually, and soon they will become obsolete.
The first one should be the landline phones. The telephone have been on the way out for several years now in light of widespread cell phones use. Though there are still over millions of people keep using them, the number of the user must continue to shrink in the coming decade.
After the landline phone, I have to mention another devices because they are connected--- the fax machines. It appears that the scales have begun to tip against its favor: with scanners more accessible and people have less access to dial-up landlines, online scanning and faxing is becoming an increasingly easy and economical replacement for the decades old machines.
Then the computer mice could be one of the obsolete device. Here I have to say I am still used to use the external mice, because I am more comfortable with it. Unfortunately, the tablets and smartphones have put touch screen device at the front of technology. It has translated into the development of touch screen laptops and some desktop computer. The external mice are becoming the old fashion.

Technology is always evolving, and I think it is safe to say that in the past 20 years, internet has evolved so much in such little time. Though the internet is just few decades old, in that short span of time it has experienced significant improvement it serves as a platform for communication, entertainment, business, science, and education. According to the increasing data transmission speed and the propagation range in global entity. Imaging you can get internet in a desert, and you can play cloud-based video games without a hint of lag, or people are able to download a high-definition movie in few seconds. I believe that in next 10 years the Internet will absolutely be faster and more pervasive.
