It's 2001. The internet is still relatively young. What do you think it'll look like in 2011? Predictions time.

I'll start: I think everyone will have broadband, websites will look much more like software applications, and physical media (CDs, DVDs) will start being replaced by downloads.

What are your predictions?

Wireless internet everywhere. In your house, at coffee shops, maybe even in parks. No more being tethered to a desk to be online.

Video on the internet will be huge. Right now it's tiny postage stamp quality but bandwidth is growing exponentially. Eventually we'll stream movies online.

I think phones will be able to browse the internet properly. WAP is terrible now but give it 10 years and we'll have real browsers on mobile phones.

Hot take: physical stores will start dying as online shopping gets better. Amazon is already eating into retail. In 10 years it'll be much worse for brick-and-mortar.

Forums will still be around. Maybe with better features. But people will always want communities organized around shared interests. That doesn't change.
