Future of the Internet

Many engineers and scholars are worried about the social, political and economic consequences of the spread of digital activity, but tend to report that their own digital life experience is positive.

Lee Rainie held a Holmes Distinguished Lecture at Colorado State University on April 13, 2018 and discussed the Internet research Internet center of Elon University with that center.

Many experts say digital life will continue to expand people's boundaries and opportunities. However, nearly one-third of people believe that the overall well-being of people will worsen further over the next few years.

Experts do not agree on whether the incorrect information on the Internet will be less in the coming years. People who expect improvement will expect technical and social solutions. Others say that bad actors using technology can exploit human vulnerabilities

Many experts say lack of trust does not hinder the people's dependence on the Internet. Some people think that trust will increase due to the emergence of technological and regulatory changes, others think that they will completely deteriorate or completely change

Despite widespread concern about cyber attacks, confusion, and privacy violations, most experts believe that the Internet's Internet will continue to expand well in the coming years.

Regardless of how the vote swayed on December 14, the net neutrality will continue to be a hot topic of discussion about the future of the Internet and its related regulatory policy. Future articles in this series will explore the influence of other regulated industries, the impact of these regulations, and those affected by network neutrality regulations. Perhaps by reviewing the past you will be able to make better laws about the future of the Internet.

Tomorrow, the European Parliament will vote for a proposal to determine the future of the European Open Internet. This proposal is aimed at protecting the net neutrality of the principle of keeping the Internet open and free, but contains dangerous loopholes that threaten the future of European freedom of speech, innovation and democracy It is. The US passed this strong network neutrality regulation this year, but the Internet we knew well and loved is a global network without traditional boundaries. Therefore, policies adopted by policies outside our country are important because restricting the openness of the Internet to one place will ultimately impede the freedom of the Internet.

As this future group joins the Internet, what will it do? In the United States, "Internet participation" means that most people benefit from Internet access using the Internet before offering convenient Internet services. You can find what you did not see before. Find them. Think about how Google search can make Yahoo outdated. It's easy to say "Google is 10 times superior so I won", but what about more accurate? Google was winning at the time because it was superior in terms of participation (discovery). Google is not good at becoming a service platform or portal, but it is not a problem. It is important that they make better searches. Of course, currently, Google has platforms built by services, especially Google Maps, but these platforms have emerged over time. Path dependence is very important
