So what exactly does the future of the internet hold for us?

We now live in a data rich world, I believe the future of the internet will give us the power to harness this data anytime we want in our daily lives. We have devices that let us stay connected with the world wherever we go and at any time of the day. Glasses such as the one in the picture below would be ideal to carry out these tasks.


Having glasses that are permanently connected to the internet would be very useful indeed. They are small and compact, making them easy to carry around. And they do not look out of place when we use them. The possibilities of such an invention would be endless.

First of all, this may replace all previous forms of internet messengers. We can communicate directly with our friends without having to type a single letter. Think of this like a bluetooth headset, except that we are able to see the person we are talking to just like having a webcam conversation.

Secondly, all internet transactions can be voice activated and done with ease. Your credit card information can be stored in this glasses to make payment easier as well. In the screen shot above, shows that a person can actually make a concert booking through this glasses. It saves us a lot of time and effort of going through the whole booking process that is currently in place.

Thirdly, imagine we are shopping outside. When we pick a product up in our hands, the glasses can give us relevant information about the product. Maybe when we pick up a book, we can get reviews from amazon, background information about the author and so on. And when we pick up a CD for example, we may be able to listen to samples of the tracks and more. And when we pick up a DVD, trailers of the show can be shown to us. Or when it comes to food products, we are able to get a comparison with other products of similar nature, perhaps in terms of nutritional benefits or value for money.

Maybe we can also integrate a camera into the glasses as well. Taking photos with just a voice command and immediately uploading it to our flickr account. This would be much convenience to users and photo sharing will be really simple indeed.

Of course all this are just plain speculation but there is no way for certain we can figure out what the future of the internet will be like. But since all these data are being made available to us now on the internet, wouldn't it be wonderful if we can just draw them out when we need it, without having to use much effort on our part. Knowledge is power and if we can carrying all this knowledge with us where ever we go, then the future of the internet will be something to really look forward to.
