Let’s take the layout and format of web-pages, they basically look the same. There are very few 3D web-sites, there are very few interactive sites. The appearance of web-pages is very similar to what they were 10 years ago, that is, two dimensional complete with simple links to other web-pages. Text is almost standardised and is combined with pictures or photographs. In general, all web-sites look fundamentally the same. I do not see a revolution in the way websites and web-pages look over the next 10 years. This is not to deny that there will be improvements in functionality on these web-sites but there will certainly not be a revolution.

=More of the Same:
The best way to analyse how the future of the internet will look in the next 10 years is to look at history and to see how the internet has changed over the last 10 years, i.e. since 1995. So what has really changed since 1995? Fundamentally, not much.
Let’s take the layout and format of web-pages, they basically look the same. There are very few 3D web-sites, there are very few interactive sites. The appearance of web-pages is very similar to what they were 10 years ago, that is, two dimensional complete with simple links to other web-pages.

I do not see a revolution in the way websites and web-pages look over the next 10 years. This is not to deny that there will be improvements in functionality on these web-sites but there will certainly not be a revolution. Why will a revolution not occur?
