What the Internet in 2020?

The development of the Internet became bolder grow, both from the user until the technology has to offer. Then, as What the Internet in 2020? If you look from behind, the site is of course completely different now compared to the year 2000. Even very different from what happened 40 years ago, when first created.


Many people will use the Internet
Until now, according to Internet World Stats Internet has reached record 1.7 billion users, with a population of 6.7 billion people of the world. National Science Foundation predicts that the Internet will have almost five billion users at the time. However, scaling continues to be a problem for the Internet architecture in the future.

Internet will increase in developing countries
Most of the growth of the web for 10 years will come from developing countries. According to Internet World Stats regions with the lowest penetration rates are Africa (6.8 percent), Asia (19.4 percent) and the Middle East (28.3 percent). In contrast, North America has 74.2 percent penetration rate. This trend in the year 2020 the internet will not only reach more remote locations around the world, but also will support more languages and non-ASCII scripts.


Internet will be a network thing, not a computer
As more critical infrastructure will be connected to the internet, the web is expected to be a network device than a computer network. Internet has about 575 million host computers, according to the CIA World Factbook 2009. But NSF expects billions of sensors on buildings and bridges will connect to the internet to use such as electricity and security monitoring.


In the year 2020, it is expected that the number of net-connected sensors will fold greater than the number of users. Internet will reach 4.Data exabytes, maybe zettabytes. Researchers have coined the term 'exaflood' to refer to the rapid increase in the amount of data, especially image and video quality is transferred through the Internet.

Cisco estimates that global trade will grow 44exabytes per month in 2012 - more than double what it is today. Content providers like Google to create content than the Tier 1 ISPs. This shift is encouraging interest in re-Architecting the Internet to network-centric content, not the transportation network.
