So the obvious question is what will happen to the internet 10 years
from now. The last 10 years were all about phones and apps, but that's
pretty well played out by now. Gratuitously networked devices like my
dishwasher will probably be common, but that's hardly exciting. LEO
internet providers will be coming online which might make a difference
in the corners of the world where it's hard to get access, but will it
allow internet access to parachute in behind the Great Firewall?
One thing that we are seeing a revolution in is with working from home.
That has some implications for networking since symmetric bandwidth, or
at least quite a bit more upstream would be helpful as many people found
out. Is latency going to drive networking, given gaming? Gamers are not
just zitty 15 year olds, they are middle aged or older nowadays.
