I expected more work on distributed computing and data. Data that lived replicated on systems all over. So the internet wasn't so centralised. Less "amazon owns everything". I thought the block chain and bitcoin would push people this way.
I was very wrong. We moved everything to the cloud and amazon is the cloud.
I dreaded the idea of "serverless" and micro-services, and I'm happy to say for the most part those didn't catch on. Or where they did, they've begun to putter and die.
Predictions for 2034
- Less internet freedom. More tech to ferret out hate actions.
- Most content will be AI, and the net will in part die. Google search are already less than they were.
- Everything will be subscription, and always connected will be required because there will be a need to check your subscription status.
- EV's regulations will make it harder/impossible for people to buy cars, and fixing an ICE will also be super hard.
- john_the_writer 3y agothe always connected bit showed up during covid in Australia, because you had to have a smart phone ready to show people you scanned into everything.. including the grocery store.
- defrost 3y agoSome parts of Australia. I was here for most of the pandemic and don't even own or use a dumb mobile phone let alone a smart one. Wasn't an issue in the slightest.
- lifestyleguru 3y agoAt any point we are one catalyst event and few months away from civil and political rights as a subscription. Software professionals will be happy to implement the system for bonuses and public funding. Smartphone will be the enabler. Example - during covid the free movement within Schengen Area (look up how sophisticated and nuanced this arrangement is) was limited by vaccination certificate, which was... a PDF with qr code, or a screen within mobile app.
