Technology continues to evolve and progress every year. For example, in order to get to the iPhone that the majority of us now own, the telephone had gone through some drastic changes. First, people had to write letters to one another and wait a year for a reply, then came the telegraph, next came house phones connected to cords, finally the first cordless mobile device, and now apple technology. The telephone is just one example of how technology has evolved and will continue to change in the near future.
However, the phone is an easy example to explain the evolution of technology. I will be focusing on how the internet could possibly evolve in the future. Initially designed as a government project, the internet has evolved to what it is today. We listen to music and watch movies online. We also use the internet for research and to read the news. According to the article “The Future of the Internet,” the ongoing development of speed, bandwidth, and functionality of the net will continue to cause fundamental changes to how our world operates for decades to come. I believe that in the future, possible 3D can be introduced to the internet since it is currently being introduced to TVs. Another example is audio net surfing. With that all you would have to do is speak to your internet. There is currently a little bit of that now with the phone but it does not work very well all the time. Another important change that I hope will happen is better security and protection as a result of hackers.
Here are two websites that I have discovered about the internet that proved to be interesting.

This article explains how the Google co-founder, Sergey Brin, believes that the freedom of the internet is under threat from the government. He claims that the crack down on the internet can “stifle innovation.”
