Life in the CyberSphere
On our journey to the CyberSphere, a variety of services will appear to make our lives more interesting. There are two key characteristics that will define the character of the Internet in the near future. The first is near abundant bandwidth in certain areas served by high-speed fibres, and the second is the ubiquitous coverage offered by the wireless Internet. The new realities, combined with ever increasing processing power and storage space, will implement changes that will match the changes we have seen in the preceding decade. |
