Ten years ahead of internet marketing future

What can you predict ten years from now? what will happen to the industries? each year internet user increase as well as new website created each day..

Looking back ten years ago, early 2000, i think people like to use yahoo instead of google, now everything changed, lots of internet user, blog, product, competitor, website, software and so on...

Can you predict what will happen to the internet marketing (IM) industries ten years from now? Tell me your prediction and what do you think about this industries, can you survive? is it the market will grow or static? Give your opinion :)

I found this 5 year forcast by Forrester Research complete with growth chart:

Online retail sales aren’t growing at the torrid pace they once were, but they continue to grow steadily. Forrester Research put out a new five-year forecast today predicting that e-commerce sales in the U.S. will keep growing at a 10 percent compound annual growth rate through 2014. It forecasts online retail sales in the U.S. will be nearly $250 billion, up from $155 billion in 2009. Last year, online retail sales were up 11 percent, compared to 2.5 percent for all retail sales. (Forrester Forecast: Online Retail Sales Will Grow To $250 Billion By 2014)

I think online buying ability will increase in China and India So everyone might need to do things to complete in these mammoth markets. Also online retail sales will be double IMO.

Yes.In India and China increased internet users will likely to increase online sales and e commerce activities.There will be novel developments also to deploy this potential geographic zone.

China and India are the huge markets to penetrate as well as middle east i think, BUT are these countries rely on their language of website or English standard website for searching info on the net,and.. How about the competitor? When think about great amount of consumer it must have great number of competitor also

internet will be a part of most people's life and because of that internet marketing will be developed and widely used than now after 10 years.
I think like that.

Furthermore, i think 10 years ahead internet is become more cheaper and everyone from child to old people will use internet, and i think trillion of website will exist on the net :)

Maybe There won't be an internet in 10 years. Who knows something can happen in 2012 or maybe later there might be a nuke war.

There are sleeping Giants who might wake up in next 10 years. China, India, Brazil, Eastern European countries. I think internet market will grow bigger than offline market. People will buy things online than walking to near buy mall or shops.

Something can happen in 2012? Sound a bit scared for me, you mean just like in movie 2012? :) i agree with you, China and India will be a big potential to penetrate new market

I think the internet will keeping growing but eventually there will be too many websites. Like it or not eventually there will be not enough space on the internet or ipadresees.

Numbers are infinite stuff so are the IPs

ok, let me explain like any computer prosser that has limts so does the internet. The internet is run on many large hubs and therotcalythey will fill up and will not be able to process all the information eventually.

I don't think so, technologies are coming !!
EG- One day fuel in the world will finish, but people will not travel again by bullock carts because of that, they will find new energy sources what are more advanced. Same to the internet. It will only develop.

Till now we only had IPv4 IPs, but now because we are running out of IPv4 Ips, they introduced IPv6 IPs.
IPv6 uses 128 bits as apposed to IPv4's 32.
IPv4 = 4.294.967.296 available addresses
IPv6 = 340.282.366.920.938.463.463.374.607.431.768.211.45 6 available addresses

Similar story is with HDDs, CPUs, etc...

Can you recognize the pattern here or I need to explain further?

I don't have a name for a number this big. Astronomers tell us there are billions of galaxies each with billions of stars in the universe. This number may be big enough to assign a separate IP address to each star in the universe and still have plenty left over for earth.

ok, i got thanks for telling me
