Don't know. When Internet was invented, nobody ever expected it to be a part of our daily routine life.
I'm waiting on the revolutionary crystal ball to be developed so I can answer this question.... With all seriousness... the next big online phenomenon hasn't been built yet. It will most likely take an already existing idea and add a little twist to it which will cause complete and utter chaos like any other web sites that have exploded in growth. I bet it will be interactive and utilize some of the advance technology that we already have. HTML5? Mobile Phones? Who knows...
I saw BTC.com was just bought by a bitcoin company (GAWMiners) for $1,000,000 dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2014/20140813.htm
Revolution on internet will take time to generate new idea. As of now people are engaged in cooking a new receipe. Any problem will be the next idea generation. All this depend on individual how they analyse their environment around them. Take an example of Google and other search engine. When internet had no search engines. There was a problem to search things on internet. Someone targeted the problem to make a product.
Online supercomputers that learn from mistakes will drive the next hi-tech revolution. Recently I've read article on this, here is the link. Just read once. http://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/techn...-supercomputers-drive-next-hi-tech-revolution
Robotics Start watching what is happening in the world right now, and you'll see a massive drive to start moving robotics towards the consumer. Here are a few places you are already seeing it: Dyson 360 Eye - Vacuum Cleaner Google Cars - Self Driving Cars Cadillac - Self Driving Cars (Limited Highway Edition) Amazon - Drones to deliver packages. (Ok...so not home use...) Google, Microsoft, the automakers, and others are investing heavily into this arena and the results are starting to show. How is that tied to online? They are controlled via the internet using our mobile devices, we will have more free time to be online, etc... (I also like the suggestion of nanotechnology...)
This has been a very interesting discussion. It occurred to me the next big thing might be the creation of a device to block your ID from the companies so that you can have a much purer Internet experience. Having them tell me what I want before I ask for it is too creepy for me. Remember HAL from 2001 the Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic (HAL) computer that took over? Just say'n...

I think cellphones are only going to last 6 months on average as opposed to 1 year and most of the public is going to be too stupid to even realize how badly everyone is being scammed with cells.
dunno if it is in the works or not, but one day I expect that we will be able to have 3d chat, like they do in star wars, where you see a hologram of the person you are talking to in front of you. Like you place your phone on the table, and you will see your friend as a hologram above the device. As well, I can imagine rooms being specially fitted so that they can display holograms, Things like conference calls, would not just be invisible people you can only hear, but able to appear as full holograms that can walk around the conference room, shake hands with people, talk individually with others, and sit down at a table, while either another hologram, or a human starts the meeting.
This is a very likely advancement, in my opinion. I also think that computer screens, keyboards, etc., will be displayed as holograms thereby making powerful computing devices smaller and smaller as they will only need to have the CPU and 3d video capability.
I dont believe we will use domain names as heavily as we do now. There are laptops, tablets, mini-computers running andro id. With people able to play android apps even on windows as well. Its easier to fill it with apps and widgets to solve our daily needs then it is to visit a website. my kids have tablets filled with apps and can watch movies everything and never once access the browser. Its redundant now. Things like online browser sites will have a reduction in users, well might pick up once its featured on the history channel showing how old farts used to play games back in the 2000's.... The next big thing will be the new alternative to android.... maybe a competitor to the play store. Perhaps business will war for rankings in the play store and in apps that find local businesses and not in the good old fashioned search engines...
Interesting topic. For me I think it would be a virtual AI that could help us around our webpage or internet but I think that would be risky for most of the information are in the internet. And the creation of AI's are still debatable and considered dangerous by most brilliant minds.
Personally I think in the future Web Sites and Mobile Apps will become one giving the visitor the ability to grant the web site certain capabilities on their device. Similar to how cookie can store data a web app can store a permission based event. The problem I see currently there are millions of apps and billions of web sites. Apps are more convenient, easier to use and can control your hardware operations HOWEVER you would kill your device by loading 100 apps. Web Sites are easy to access and always available with light resources but can't perform the actions an app can. So personally I think in the future there will be some sort of merger between the Mobile App and Web Site.
You have Virtual AI. AI is Artificial Intelligence. It's a computer making decisions that normally a human would be responsible for. SiRi or any Voice Activated virtual assistant is virtual AI. It's still being advanced and it's very interesting. As for being dangerous....I have no idea what you mean. We most certainly won't be relying on SiRi to launch nuclear warfare..... or......will....we.
I'd care less if all those things disappeared tomorrow. I wouldn't miss any of that at all. What needs to be revolutionized is our auto manufacturing / road system / transportation system. More people die in car crashes, year after year, than from any other cause or disaster, yet we are not even concerned about that anymore - AT ALL. If people who died in car crashes over the years were buried on the side of the road they died on, almost ever single major highway anywhere in the world would look like a cemetery. And heaven forbid if there would be another popular social media site. Who needs it? We are so over saturated with all that stuff already. If anything we need is a break and not another digital revolution.
