Journey with the Flattening World

hi,
I am one among all zippies, huge cohort of Indian youth who are first to come of the age since India shifted away from socialism and dived headfirst into global trade and information revolution by turning itself into world's service center, as described by Thomas L. Friedman in his book "The World is Flat".

even before i came across this book i had some realization about the fact that either "the world is flat" or it is getting flatter. my first encounter with internet happens to be only after i passed my 12th, when i went to Jodhpur to prepare for Engineering exam in 2003 . i remember the time when i went to cybercafe for the first time with my friend and they used to chat and flirt with a girls from foreign countries.That was my first encounter with digital globalization where people from different part of globe find temporary friends ,with whom they exposes many of their unexpressed and hidden traits and talents ,you know very well ! . At that time i use the internet only on specific occasion if it is something very rare service available, e.g. to see results of exams, check for details of any engineering entrance exam etc..

Later when i get enough acquaintance with PC and internet browser, i started finding enough courage to go alone to cybercafe, but with cautious approach toward everything i encounter. I used to go there with prepared list of web pages and address for them in advance with what job i need to do and steps required for that.

I remember that surprising moment when someone told me that you need not to worry if you don't know or remember any specific website address, there is a site on internet "Google" which will find website address for any site you want and that was the moment which really make my life over internet quit simple as for any other internet user.

we are talking a lot about the Information Technology Revolution and Globalization with better world wide connectivity between every two places of world with development in lot of wired and wireless technologies and also with its falling cost because of continued technological development. It has already changed the way we do business, way we learn, way we spend our time, way we communicate with near and dear etc....

Now what lies in future... ? Where we might see ourselves if this trend continue ? What will be face and fate of this globe in say 2050 or 2100 ? what positive and negative lies in the Time to come.This question can be dealt in sequential manner by taking in account all recent development of last century, current research and development and then projecting the same trend with a approximately calculated slop to go with.

Till now, latest technologies are fueling the trends like outsourcing, off shoring, supply chaining, in-forming etc, all derived by the global connectivity with lots of wired and wireless technologies all around.So how is the requirement and expectation of business and people changing and what is the more that they are demanding, as we know that "need is mother of invention". so by looking these trend we can project it for longer period of time.

Some of these requirement can be easily listed as:
1. Better bandwidth to enhance speed and quality of transfer of packets of information over all the networks of the globe.
2.Covering all remote areas of globe by wireless connectivity, which still lacks good connectivity at affordable price with the same quality standard as in urban area, this will pour billion of other new user in internet who are still untouched by this greatest invention of 20th century.
3.With time almost all the knowledge and information will be get into digital format and will be available on a single click and with better searching algorithms, we will be able to find more precise and relevant information for our need.
4.With the better bandwidth we will find website being more graphical, animation based and more interactive.we will be able to find of lots of new , innovative web based service for individual as well as business in coming decades. with these new service coming, individual will be more empowered than ever before to achieve his/her goal and will be able to find tools to perform every possible task they can think of, over internet.
