Oh yeah, so the internet is going to provide you with the food and water you need to survive, and the exercise to stop you getting morbidly obese, and the facilities for you to urinate etc. Unlikely.

Tbh, i wouldn't feel very comfortable with shoving a usb stick up my left nostril.

I just think, in 20 years all our media will come from the internet as it will have such a high download speed :]

Maybe we become robots (if you wanted to) and use it from there -.-

I think there will be a thing where you can download info stright in to your brian

It will stop soon it can only go so far... i think it will stop in 2-3 years time only getting more faster internet connections from there on.

we do exams on the computers *****

A few exams are already done on a computer anyway. My technology one, product design it was called an ALAN exam & that was done on a computer. :]

I don't think it will be very different, I'd imagine download speed would be much faster and there will be more sites but other than that not a lot of differece, especially not human-interfacing like a few people suggested: that would be far beyond any technology we have or will have for at least a few centuries.

Oh i forgot to mention, i bet nintendo release a fully internet based console, they seem to be the *risk takers* of the big named, decent consoles.. Xbox etc are not internet based, they are internet capable, im talking like the wii, except full body things, stuff for your legs/arms and head..

Ok

In the 20 years time I think one of these will happen:

a) Someone will create a virus which will crash the whole internet, and as no one in the world controls the internet anymore, it will take years to fix.

or

b) Terminator - All machines will kill us.

a virus that could crash the whole internet? Impossible, there are hundreds of different OS's that are used within the internet, it would have to be virii (multiple virus's)
