While most agree on the economic shift from atoms to bits, skeptics question the time period it will take. Ten years ago there were quite a few businesses without fax machines. Today it is very difficult for us to imagine a business without a fax machine. There is no way one can imagine a business without internet, in 2-3 years time period from now. It is difficult to imagine even a household or school without a PC and internet, in 5-10 years time.
Technology is bound to make Internet access cheaper and bandwidth broader.
The dramatic and ongoing changes in technology, cable and TV becoming internet enabled, will reduce internet usage cost. It is quite possible that you might be paid for surfing and using the internet. Software will be more and more user-friendly. The new generation will not be able to think of the world without Internet. In the long history of evolution of humanity through revolutions, India got a bad deal from the industrial revolution.
