A rather radical way to develop Internet is to focus on the way we treat Personal Information. If we would radically treat Personal Information as Personal Property… and if we would understand and appreciate the consequences of it as outlined in the “i Charter” (see: http://www.dotindividual.com/doticharter.htm) and further explained on Primavera (University of Amsterdam): http://primavera.fee.uva.nl/PDFdocs/2006-10.pdf (please note: “iDNA-Manifesto” is synonymous with “i Charter”)… then the character of Internet would radically change because the way we deal with information – our own Personal Information and Personal Information of other Persons – radically changes. Please, do ponder that for (quite) a while.
There is much, much more to say on this broad subject, but I will leave it to mentioning the next url to you: http://primavera.fee.uva.nl/PDFdocs/2007-05.pdf. In this article an ontology is sketched for unambiguously capturing limitless behavioural variety.

The internet, being an evolution of ARPANET, was designed as a communication platform that would keep on running when radio-networks would be blacked out by electromagnetic shockwaves caused by nuclear detonations. (EMP). Now that in 2008 it is finally living up to that functionality, mankind (and womankind?) finds that we wind up with higher power bills and less quality time with our friends, families, volunteer communities etc. Some careful usage statistics and logging analysis indicates that anywhere among 1,5 and 2 billion people are concurrently online on this little bright blue ball we call Planet Earth.

Internet is a medium in blossom, but hmm, we DID see some huge spiders weaving & crawling the WorldWideWeb ;-) Our sons are online on average 10 hours per day, if we let them. Will typically forget about the 'real' world and the practice of 'simple' skills like cooking a healthy meal for say, 5-9 people. And, no, still can't not explain to my old mother (now 83) what benefits SHE would reap from getting connected and online.

Is there any 1 out there that has a clue where we are going from here?

I'd like to mention also that there were other networks (we could also recall BBS' in the modem age, I was 14 at the moment) that were pushed away by the growing and evolving internet society. I think that it's the simplicity of tag usage and superiour flexibility of HTML language invented by CERN employee that was behind the explosive boom of internet. And this boom, in turn, indicated the need for other protocols that developed later.
As for evolution of internet itself, 15 years ago we could communicate only with text messages, now audio and video conferences are not uncommon. This evolution, however, wouldn't be possible without the prior and parallel evolution of IT.
It may seem that evolution of internet has slowed down - now it's too hard to find ways to communicate other than text, audio and video. Maybe think about tactile/action feedback that could be used for new interfaces - the imperfect contemporary Wii does that today and what can such interfaces evolve to in future? Or maybe invent a way of sending the flavours and smells in order to complete the full gamma of senses available to humans? - That's what could be used for future meta-internet, I think.
As for the people, which are usually the greatest asset of any successful company, some brilliant folks can't leave their household due to being disabled. Think of Steve Hawkins, for example. And there are many others for whom internet is the only way to reach out.
With the growing perfection of communicative environment such folks can be more and more productive. And in commercial way, too.

I would start to change the legal systems - Establish the "Code Napoleon" of the internet

In my experience more problems with criminality and usage (e-commerce, e-government) are due to differences in rules and regulations than to limitations of technology

The next thing is to outlaw http and tcp/ip and prescribe a communication vehicle which enables universal identification of the user - the current anonymity is a boon to wrongdoers.
brainstorming on the subject - if you are asking everybody to trust a vendor or any national organisation to incorporate a trusted computing identifier, it will fail due to mistrust.
Use an international electronic passport e.g. issued by UNO, to identify who owns which device which is used to interact.

Here's an odd bit of input...I read a book called "The Planiverse" by Alexander Keewatin Dewdney. In short, someone has established contact through a computer to a two dimensional universe. In conversations with a "flat" 2D person, the flat person is trying to comprehend what a third dimension is. The human thinks about this and says something to the effect of pointing to a place you cannot see or imagine (VERY rough quote). The reason I mention this is that I believe it is from that unseen/unimagined place you need to look to answer your question. I think that assembling like-minded people is exactly the WRONG thing to do when looking for what you seek. The more diverse the collection of people or those who have input, the greater the chance you'll stumble across it.

If you collect a bunch of astronomers together and ask them how to solve a communication problem, they'll design rockets to put satellites into orbit. Collect a bunch of people from all walks of life together, and you'll probably get an easier, cheaper, and more useful result.

I think this question is a step beyond what I feel is the biggest issue with the Internet - universal access. Before we can create radical new developments for the Internet, we should be ensuring that everyone who chooses to access it can easily do so, regardless of their location or their income. The internet should be available on the streets - to get directions or in lieu of a phone book (as 2 examples), not just in coffee houses, bookstores and libraries. Every home should in the US (at least) should be equipped with internet access, even for the simplest reasons.

I think we can find answers by looking at the youngest generation. What kinds of traits can we find in our youth? The teens and kids that I know all like the social aspect of the Internet. And even though social networking is not new at this point, I think this area will continue to develop. Think about how our youth is text message crazy. The internet is going to be an increasingly important tool in the social lives of people going forward.

Breakthroughs in ease of use will also be important in the coming years. Look at how iPods and iMacs are drawing customers looking for the easy to use products. I'm not sure of the applications, but I think ease-of-use will be important also.

If you want to meet people, it becomes myspace, facebook, or linkedin. You control when you go in, what you do while you are there, and when you'll leave, same as any real life building.

I really do not look at the answer from the perspective of the technologists writing code, rather I see an answer from the perspective of the average user. After all they really have the power to determine what technologies remain, and which go through their use or lack thereof. The beauty of the net, from the average users' perspective, has been largely that it empowers everyday folk to get the information they want, when they want it. I do not think that fundemental principle has changed much. Broadband made that that process a lot faster and a lot more dynamic regarding content procurement and how it can be produced and delivered. Open source made it easy for a non-technologist or non-programmer to actually create their own content/web experience and I believe (my next strategy to develop the net in a new radical way) that my next development would be a natural extension of trends exhibited by the average net user: 1. extend connectivity to most facets of daily life - already getting there but a long way to go 2. Keep increasing connectivity speed - this makes it easier for the user to incorporate the web into more of their daily life - creating new daily habits that will help to further develop new ideas and radical tools on the web 3. Quit designing web experiences as flat, text driven experiences for this moving audience 4. Extend behavioral targeting through IP networks into traditional media delivery devices - it is already happening, but has a long way to go - just ask Asia and Europe, they are a few years ahead of us here in the States.

I think the accessibility question is vital. I also believe that the next step forward will look like a step back.

Anyone who familiar with Iain M. Banks 'culture' novels will have come across a text based service that everyone can tap into through a 'neural lace' that is embedded in the brain. If I remember right (and I'm nowhere near my library as I write this) it allows access through a Gopher-style menu system.

For those who don't remember Gopher, it was a kind of hierarchical directory of resources on the original internet. At least, what I've come to think of as the original internet, anyway.

If we take this idea and transpose it onto the accessibility problem, information sharing via telephony (having a voice read you your emails, do basic Gopherspace operations, etc.), text based messaging, and very low power internet appliances, the future is clear.

An internet that is accessible from anywhere, but which can be accessed in split brain mode. That is, like listening to radio, or half-watching TV, or holding a conversation whilst driving, the internet can become a useful background activity.

What I wouldn't give to be able to sort my email, whilst driving to work, using my mobile phone to communicate with the mail server...

Just a thought.

Hello Francisco,

I started writing an answer, but I am afraid that would have turned into a book.

Instead I will give you a short answer.

In order to determine the next strategy one should think outside the box, and also keep in mind humankind could roughly be divided into two groups: those that need entertainment and those that have an urge for knowledge.

Well, for those us who get paid for these insights...I can't give away my multi-billion dollar answer...however. I can offer these insights. As far as a strategic "step" is concerned, I think we need to pay attention the bridge between technology and brain science, and between social psychology and internet behaviour. The detrimental effects of a "wired" life seem pretty obvious, so what do the integrated solution sets look like to minimize those effects? How will, over say the next 20-30 years a fuller integration of "digital interface" effect our lives? I am fond of "living digital" solutions. For instance-your "digital" wallet, includes medical information and insurance for you and your family members. You slip it into your car and the car recognizes you, you slip in the office door, home door and so on...Once in your home, you say " Messages" and up on the wall are you phone/email messages. You say stock quotes etc.. You say "Where's Jill" and you see here GPS coordinates down the street and she gets a ping on her card/phone/wallet to come home for dinner. She comes home and a reader tells you she is low on protein and to adjust dinner, she goes upstairs and she can't get content off the web until she finishes her assignments which are pre-loaded on her screen. You get the picture. Getting "there" is the question...right? So small steps. I think seamless integration tools like the IPhone are the beginning of this thread...I can't wait to see what's next..

The web 3.0 is about the semantic web that, in a simple way, means putting precise questions and getting precise answers.
The Holly Graal is the artificial intelligence and this has nothing of new because it’s a research that is being done for many years by now, except the fact that maybe Internet could be the place where it actually could be achieved.
And the power for achieving this is the same that led many kids in the past and present to create or give an essential contribute (and some of these kids have become millionaires in the process) for what the web is today: millions of brains thinking and deciding with freedom what they want.
So, the next strategy step to continue developing Internet in a new radical way is to give an answer for this question:
How to give any user what he EXACTLY wants in the fastest and simple way.

The internet is purely a bearer mechanism that allows us to commmunicate and interact. So radical change is going to be about interaction and access to processed information. Innovation will come about through cutlural change and this can be demonstrated by the massive adoption of text messaging in the wireless domains that sees teenagers communicating with their friends as they sit eating dinner with their parents.

As the abilitry to access the Internet expands the result of "total access" 24 hours a day will mean that communications are possible whenever and whereever the consumer wants it. This means the internet will deliver services almost coincident with thought and demand.

Spinoffs ? Image the concept of a two way browser - my browser (i think of it as profiling tool or image) could enable me to automatically pull content as I walk down the street to meet my profile (opportunites to consume) or push content out to the world - how about an internet connected jacket that monitors your location and state of health and presents an "image" of you to your selected stakeholders (EG Family members, emergency services, insurers and your boss). The trick here will be how we process it for commercial advantage.

So; two way automatic communications that serve the need of stakeholders 24/7. Incremental value added services that integrate with your lifestyle, small secure payments and novel devices built into clothing, cars, building etc that allow access to sutiably processed data.

This is Ai3's answer: We are designing TrueThinker™ to be the world’s first intelligent website.The technology underlying TrueThinker is the patented AutoGnomic™ technology. While it’s difficult to fully describe in current technology terminology, the AutoGnome™ technology underlying TrueThinker is automated inference software which essentially extracts intelligence from an environment (including how a computer is being used to interface with the Internet) by itself, automatically. That is to say, the typical manner of codifying intelligence using programmers is eliminated. Once extracted, this intelligence can then be applied to solutions in the domain of the environment. And, since its “learning” is automated, experience gathered during its use can be fed back, continuously adjusting its knowledge as the environment inevitably changes. The AutoGnome is a true automated inference machine. TrueThinker.com, upon completion of the first full build-out, will have three basic functional capabilities: knowledge organization (learning), knowledge creation (thinking), and knowledge applications (acting). With its unique and novel (i.e. the Web as AI) foundation for these functionalities, TrueThinker.com will evolve into the ubiquitous product that transforms the computer into an effective learning, thinking and acting machine.

In the current version, TrueThinker.com has three prime components -- MyTrueThinker, MyKnowledgeBank and MyCommunities. MyKnowledgeBank is where users manually or automatically, via their trained AutoGnome, store their selected relevant and valued information for easy retrieval. MyCommunities is where users and eventually their trained AutoGnomes join or organize groups of people or their AutoGnomes with the same social, business, research or other common interests in order to share resources and hold discussions, publicly or privately.

Near-term improvements will include: an autocategorization whereby, based solely (no user participation) on automatically identified similarities in content, the AutoGnome will create new categories of potential relevance to the user’s interests. Also, there will be a TrueWikiThinker function. The next version of TrueThinker.com will incorporate knowledge creation (thinking) via a product which facilitates the thought process by finding similarities and differences between a stated problem or query and other seemingly unrelated topics and, on that basis, suggests “new” concepts to the user. Adjoined to this function, TrueThinker.com will autonomously find relevant information related to a MINDClone™’s independent ideation and store it in MyKnowledgeBank for the user’s future use. And finally, TrueThinker.com will autonomously build communities based on degrees of similarity among selected components of individual TrueThinker KnowledgeBanks.
The domain and language dependency exists only in the knowledge where it belongs. The current implementation of the AutoGnome in TrueThinker can be seen as an infant. That is, it is only the first level of our technology roadmap that currently has five defined levels, each at least an order of magnitude more functional than the previous. A comparison of the current level with other technologies such as neural networks shows similar performance. However, these technologies are at a level of maturity evolved over several decades and can be expected to evolve slowly in the future, if at all.

We need a way of seeing who we can trust from a distance.

Web 2.0 has been taken over by companies who understand how to rig social networking. (check out the size of Borat's network on Myspace for an obvious one, but I bet many people are paid to be "genuine" to sell things online just like they do on the radio).

Person to person networking is still better because we can subconsciously read body language and voice tone, and more of the time as well. When a web-fake can't keep up the act, they merely have to disconnect or turn off the web-cam (or create a false image or voice digitally).

I could easily put a photo of some Portuguese Fado guitarrist on my profile, create a false background, and open network to people in a similar industry (many of them fake)...

...check out Tim Tychynshyn (top answerer) for an obviously fake profile.

With viruses, spam, fraud, spoofs and all that, what the Internet needs is trust. We have cons offline too, but we've learned how to recognize them better I think.

The next development is not with technology, it is with us as a society. We have to learn how to read people online.

And with that, perhaps some kind of economic controls to make it harder to enter online contracts rather than easier. Push button agreements are not read by many, and when they are they destroy trust.

And third is software that can pass through the great firewalls of China and other countries. Only when we have true freedom of speech with those we do business with (as we do in face to face communication) can we truly establish trust.

Make sure that new technology does not constipate the internet. Attempt to make the "K.I.S.S." principle the industry standard rather than the current "internet nerds pushing the envelope" that tends to make sites unuseable.

Last but not least...never ever agree with government regulation of any aspect of the internet. No matter how tempting its always a bad idea.

Here's your answer: Create a search engine with results that are only video related. Video is already becoming the Internet standard. Within a few years, most small to medium size companies will have their own inexpensively produced professional video.

Here's why this will radically change the Internet: When consumers shop for products and services, they're typically looking for something that's within an easy 8-12 minute drive from their home (unless it's a higher priced item). Local businesses (and IYPs) are recognizing that the Internet serves consumers best when it helps meet the need of finding products and services locally. That's why yellowpages.com, superpages.com and the like are emphasizing local search so heavily. With that consideration in mind, those companies are beginning to populate their sites with short 30 and 60-second custom videos of their advertisers. They recognize that professionally produced video is the best way to introduce a consumer to a local business because it communicates a message in a way that text, photos and simple animation can't.

When the number of videos on Internet Yellow Pages sites reaches a saturation point, you'll see these companies give their users the ability to filter results to only those companies that have videos about their business. Within two years, having a business on the Internet without a video will be like trying to sell a car online without photos.

Now, Internet video is fertile territory. How you monetize Internet video is the real question. Vertical market websites (weddings, automotive, home improvement, etc.) are prime candidates for adding video to their site. The question is, how do they populate their site with video. The answer is, they partner with my company since we're able to produce on-site customized videos inexpensively in virtually any market throughout the U.S. (something we've been doing successfully for about almost 2 years) By offering video on their site for their members or affiliates, they're actually providing a service for both consumers and the businesses listed on their site. If they want a way to monetize video on their site, they can re-sell the video production at a retail price to their site advertisers and listors.

Now, back to the original question as to what is the next strategic step to evolving the Internet in a radical way. By launching a site as soon as possible, promoting it and partnering with my company, you'll be miles ahead of most companies who will be doing the same thing in 12 to 18 months. Google will be doing this eventually so you'll end up competing with them. But better to be a stepchild to Google than not even a member of the family.

Hope that helps.

I think that Francisco has missed the point.

Development of the internet in new and radical ways is not the way to make a living out of the internet. The point is to be first and best with a service that is very similar to something that is allready out there and in use using another service.

In this manner internet providers have slowly replaced a number of services such as -

Email replacing fax machines (which displaced conventional mail)
Voice over IP replacing telephones (which displaced radio comms)
Internet Banking and financial services replacing telephone banking
Internet auctions replacing conventional auctions

For any service to suceed there must be a great enough proportion of the population ready to pay for services over the internet. The internet stocks crash was caused by a myriad of companies offering services at too great a premium to too few customers with too little money.

So the moral of the story ends with : find something that is being done that could be done better over the internet and then sell the idea to someone with the capital to make it happen (In todays terms this is GOOGLE)

As for distibuted personell, it is hard enough to get people to cooperate on a task when they are located in the same room let alone continents apart. The day will come when bandwidth is high enough for online cooperation but that day is not yet.

I am so out of my league in the midst of these great answers that I'll only try to speak as a consumer and humbly, as a market strategist. I believe that the capabilities of the internet have far outstripped the communications techonology that we use to interface with it. I want to point to a few examples to make my point.

iPhone and its older siblings were born of the need to have our phone respond to our lives, not for our lives to be cetnered around our phone. The iPhone is a very early step in the this direction.

Google is reportedly working on a voice interface for their search engine. GOOG-411 is an early stab at this.

A prevailing theme in science fiction, since the beginning of time, has been remote computer that we can talk to, that can act as a personal aid, that can do things for us, and manage our communications. This computer is active, pro-active, and intelligent.

As the internet become more universal, so must it become more human-centered. They will interact with us, not us with them. Leading consumer techonology will be entirely oriented around this paradigm. Keyboards, mouses, storage devices- all gone. We will walk and talk with an entity that is located on a server.... somewhere.

Hardware and software are moving in this direction. The internet will be a seamless, wireless structure that will make it all possible. It will evolve to meet this need almost exclusively. In the future, the development of the internet will follow the development of humans. And they will support each other to drive unprecendented and radical techonological and human evolution.

Francisco,

Great question! and one close to my heart. Chicago, like just about every other metro, has regarded "The Valley" as the land of economic growth oz, and I've been fairly involved in trying to adopt the Valley recipe to Midwest USA ingredients. Many smart people have thought about it.

Sometimes simple things can be profound, and one of Chris Anderson's pearls in the Long Tail was, "We live in an and world, not an or world." His context was that the long tail would not replace the short head any more than digital files have replaced paper or Internet transactions have replaced phone. Yes, they have diminished the legacy processes, but they haven't eliminated them as many enthusiast pundits once trumpeted.

To get back to your hypothesis, when people take large risks, they act in a way in which they *perceive* that they can diminish risk. The personal, across the table contact is a channel of communication that does add value for many people. But as you suggest, diminishing risk is a matter of preference; some people definitely feel that they can manage risk solely through digital communication, and lower transaction costs will lead them to do deals. A friend of mine is a partner in a public accounting firm, and they are starting to sign contracts without face to face contact, to your point.

In sum, I predict that we will see increased digital collaboration ventures (prosper.com, etc.) that will enable people to do business, real business, with people they never meet face to face.

The Valley, however, is a complex ecosystem, part of which coalesced due to physical proximity and shared destiny ("we've got to be able to do better than oranges"). I would have a hard time making an argument that physical proximity actually subtracts value. Some propositions can succeed by providing risk tools and community online to enable business, but human experience and communication are improved with face to face contact.

One place I would look to test your hypothesis would be gaming and virtual worlds, in which people collaborate intensely with people they rarely meet face to face. True, few "players" or residents are venturing in such a way to put their outworld survival at risk, even though they may feel completely engaged emotionally. However, I am sure you would learn interesting things.

One last insight to share: I do not believe either Silicon Valley or Route 128 would have ever succeeded if they had not had a sense of shared destiny. Part of Chicago's issue is that the economy is so diverse that business leaders have many competing and legacy business interests. In the Valley, simplistically, it was software or oranges. Stanford was there. Massachusetts' textiles weren't coming back. People had to get together, and they had limited options.

Anyway, hope this rambling helps. I'll definitely sign up for metainternet. If you want to read more on this, I'm including an analysis I made in 2006, "Technology and Economic Value Creation."

Cheers- Chris

Since the industrial era, business has had a “sell/buy” mentality. Marketing, advertising, branding and all endeavors of business were designed to support this “sell/buy” mentality. All believed that the product was more important than the customer and that the only part of the customer which truly mattered was the wallet.

Steven Bhatt calls this form of business entity, Economus corporatus literally “market of bodies”. Bhatt states that if business entities are thought of as species, then E. corporatus is a dinosaur.

At the end of the Mesozoic era, the K-T asteroid struck the earth causing the mass extinction of dinosaurs. The world economy as seen two economic K-T asteroid impacts in the last decade.

What are the K-T asteroids of the modern economy?

The first is the rise of the information age. The growth of the internet as well as the continuous, exponential growth of computing power & storage has transformed the market place and the very currency of market economies. In the industrial era the market place was dominated by product-based companies typical of species E. corporatus. Yet scurrying amongst the trampling feet of these Paleolithic behemoths of industry were the early warm blooded small service-oriented businesses. As the industrial era waned through the 1980s and 1990s, the number of these service-oriented businesses grew exponentially. Finally, the availability of technology to support the exchange of information facilitated an explosion of service and information-based businesses... the information age was born.

The second economic K-T asteroid is the widespread availability & increasing density of communications and bandwidth. Now, not only is an incalculable volume of information available but it is available to everyone. Services such as Wikipedia and other community based, community monitored, community edited, community generated, public domain/communal information repositories obliterate the concept of intellectual property.

This second economic K-T asteroid assured the end of E. corporatus and the small information age industries that had scurried among its feet evolved into what Bhatt calls Economus processus, literally “market of collaboration.”

For species E. processus, words that were once nouns became verbs. Business, start-up, information, and even relationship no longer define static objects to be owned or claimed as property. Instead they are now action words that describe the activity of a member of the species E. processus.

E. processus is involved in the activity of business. Rather than being a startup, a newly born E. processus goes about the activity of starting up. To E. processus information is not an object to be horded and jealously guarded from the eyes and fingers of other members of each species, rather information is a process by which relationships, connections, products and services are spawned, nurtured, delivered and even inspired by the very people and corporations that the information serves and supports.

E. processus does not go to networking events to "collect business cards." Rather E. processus builds and nurtures relationships as ongoing forms of communication, even as friendships. The relationship itself is not an end but a means by which E. processus serves others. There is no longer a “sell/buy” mentality, instead there is only the process of building relationships that lead to the collection of more information that promotes mutual success.

But this is not the end, already there is a new species evolving the market is moving quickly to embrace this new and even more nimble creature, Economus paratus literally “market ready.” For E. paratus, business, start-up, information and relationship are not only verbs, but processes to be supported by the judicious allocation of resources. E. paratus takes the best of the lessons learned by E. corporatus and applies them to the verbs that define E. processus.
