Pew Report: Future of the Internet
If you haven’t already read about it, Pew’s most recent report on the future of the Internet predicts that by 2020 mobile phones will become the primary device for online access, virtual reality will “become more embedded in everyday life” and internet architecture will improve.
While most won’t be surprising to library leaders, you need to be aware of a few of the study’s key findings:
- The mobile device will be the primary connection tool to the internet in 2020.
- Voice recognition and touch user interfaces will be more prevalent and accepted by 2020.
- Intellectual property law and copyright protection will remain a problem.
- Divisions between personal and work time and between physical and virtual reality will be further erased.
- Engineering to improve the current internet architecture is more likely than rebuilding it from scratch.
