Internet Trends For A New Decade

At the turn of the new decade, we have seen a lot happen in the internet space. That makes us ever so excited for the 20s as the Internet of Things(IoT) grows. Here is what we think will trend on the internet over the next decade.

Social Media Adoption

Although the last decade saw half of the world on social media, we can expect that figure to almost double over the next ten years. That’s because of the adoption and integration of social media in every aspect of our life. Do you code or create web development as a professional? There is a social media platform for that and any other profession. Today, it is even common to attach Linkedin profiles to job applications and we expect over the next 10 years you will no longer be applying to jobs with a resume but rather with a professional social profile page.

The time spent on social media is also set to jump a steady 1-2% every year. With more adaption to many parts of our daily life. This could be the most anticipated trend for the new decade.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The biggest area of online innovation could be artificial intelligence. A way to make the lives of everyone easier, artificial intelligence uses maths and algorithms to learn new processes, learning and handling of big data. Tie it up into all the information available through the internet and we find ourselves with a vastly improved online experience. This will bring a new online experience in every way. The internet will decide what it is you enjoy or are interested in without you knowing it.

AI will lead the future in many fields that involve the internet and we are excited to see all the things AI will do in the next 10 years.

Online Entertainment And Gaming

In the last 10 years platforms such as Netflix, Youtube and Spotify became a part of our daily lives. There were also many niche areas for different interests such as Twitch streaming for gaming fanatics. In the next decade, we expect a lot of new innovations when it comes to online gaming.

Remember going to casinos? That will become a thing of the past now that you can play poker against the house or someone on the other side of the planet. Or simply play slots and other casino classics in the comfort of your own home. Check out some of these top gambling sites for US that are already taking the lead in the gambling space.

We expect that any and all forms of entertainment will have a high-quality online platform within this decade and it is an exciting time to be alive and have an internet connection.

The Internet Of Things (IoT)

Probably one of the most exciting trends to look forward to is IoT or the Internet of Things. If you have never heard of this term before, allow us to explain.

You are probably used to using the internet on your phone or laptop. Well, IoT is focused on the internet in all other devices. Have you got a smartwatch? Do you have lights that can be turned on from your phone or car? These things are the early push in the IoT space.

Soon your fridge, your lights, and your thermostat will be connected to the internet and can be used or controlled remotely. Imagine watching Youtube through your bathroom mirror while you brush your teeth. Maybe the recipe you are using to make dinner is on a webpage that can be viewed on your smartwatch or is voiced to you by a robotic assistant. This is the Internet of Things and it is said to only be beginning. A large amount of investment was and will be put into this space. This makes us very excited for the next decade and how IoT will improve our lives.

It is said the IoT will heavily incorporate Artificial Intelligence over the next 10 years. We can’t really imagine how this will change our lives but we know that AI will track all the things we do against pools of data on the internet in an attempt to improve how we live.
