With the way the Internet has exploded over the past few years; some people are already taking steps to prevent it from going into turmoil. One major concern is the infrastructure of the Web. Some web engineers predict the Internet is heading for a breakdown due to lack of excess broadband availability.
With the way the Internet has exploded over the past few years; some people are already taking steps to prevent it from going into turmoil. One major concern is the infrastructure of the Web. Some web engineers predict the Internet is heading for a breakdown due to lack of excess broadband availability. Right now, they can foresee the big demands on the broadband network due to increasingly larger and larger files being transmitted over the web.
Another concern is the need for greater speeds to send files which we see with most video-file sharing sites. They consume a lot of bandwidth and investments in bandwidth is a growing concern. The last major investment made in this area was 4-5 years ago, but the proliferation of so many sites contributed to this shortage. People expect their Internet access to be real fast, downloading and uploading large files in almost in real time.
What also consumes a lot of bandwidth capacity are online streaming of films, videos etc. where people are watching more movies or watching live events such as sports. With most things the problem seems to be a lag between technology and implementation.
The future unfettered access to the Internet is predicated on some supranational body that will regulate its use in a more logical manner. Domain names usage is one such area where new algorithms are being formulated to make sense out of the millions of domain names now in existence.
In particular, anyone who wants to put up a personal site can do so and we see the numbers of famous people like actors and politicians employing personal sites to promote their activities, careers and so forth. The web uses a Domain Name System for this purpose. There are domain name registrars who can help people select and register their selected domain names. This process also prevents undue duplication.
For example the present trend is for celebrities to put up sites to cater to their fan base. It also helps them to get in touch with their constituency in the case of politicians. Future uses include blogs and social networking sites where everyone stays in touch with family and friends.
The proliferation of domain names resulted from the technical breakthroughs surmounting the difficulty when sites were being limited to only eight characters. Now, anybody can create unique domain names several characters long that is also descriptive.
Future trends concerning the Internet seem bright enough, limited only by technology, the vision to go with it and some cultural considerations also. For example, some countries tightly control people's access to the web for political reasons as well as concerns to preserve their cultural identities. They are afraid the Internet will lead to homogeneity across cultures but this fear is unfounded.
Everything points to retention of cultural and ethnic identities as seen by the rise of domain names in their native languages. Not all the peoples in the world speak English, Spanish or German and any ethnic group would prefer to speak in their native dialects and thus prefer local type sites.
