The document discusses the evolution and future of the internet. It covers internet usage statistics by continent and popular online activities. Emerging trends like the internet of things, cloud computing, and big data are discussed. The future of the internet is speculated to involve a decentralized structure with individual countries regulating internet access according to their needs. Specific applications like health data centers and alternative networks are also proposed. The conclusion reflects on issues like decentralized regulation, energy consumption from internet usage, and potential dystopian scenarios.

The convergence of the Internet and internet governance go hand in hand but
its tendency in the future where it will lead us.
Question
What is the future of the Internet ?

3. Internet in the Present
According internet live stats:
Internet penetration is distributed according to Internet
users from each continent (Asia, America, Europe, Africa
and Oceania), with Oceania having the highest
percentage of this 48.4% with 1,322,491,069 users on
the Internet, later the American continent with 21.8 %
And 596,331,291 Internet users, followed by Europe
with 19% and 520,381,481 internet users, followed by
Africa with 9.8% and 268,209,162 internet users, and
finally Oceania with 0.9% and 25,109,590 Internet users.

5. Internet Trends
Internet of things:
Gartner Says 8.4 Billion Connected
"Things" Will Be in Use in 2017, Up
31 Percent From 2016
Gartner, Inc. forecasts that 8.4
billion connected things will be in
use worldwide in 2017, up 31
percent from 2016, and will reach
20.4 billion by 2020. Total spending
on endpoints and services will
reach almost $2 trillion in 2017.

6. Cloud Computing:
Gartner Says by 2020 "Cloud Shift" Will
Affect More Than $1 Trillion in IT
Spending
More than $1 trillion in IT spending will
be directly or indirectly affected by the
shift to cloud during the next five years,
said Gartner, Inc. This will make cloud
computing one of the most disruptive
forces of IT spending since the early
days of the digital age.

7. Big data:
Gartner Survey Reveals Investment in
Big Data Is Up but Fewer Organizations
Plan to Invest
When it comes to big data, many
organisations are still finding
themselves at the crafting stage
Big data is a collection of different
data management technologies and
practices that support multiple
analytics use cases. Organizations are
moving from vague notions of data
and analytics to specific business
problems that data can address.

8. Future of the Internet
Galactic Internet
Disruption Tolerant Networking
Reliable Solar System Internet Connection
The moon is about 250 thousand miles away
and Mars is 140 million miles away on
average. To communicate across these vast
distances, NASA manages three
communication networks consisting of
distributed ground stations and space relay
satellites for data transmission and reception
that support both NASA and non-NASA
missions. These are the Deep Space Network
(DSN), the Near Earth Network (NEN), and
the Space Network (SN).

9. Software defined networks:
Are emerging networking
architectures that separate
the control plane from the
data plane in networking
equipment. This is so that
network intelligence and
state are logically centralized,
and the underlying network
infrastructure is abstracted
from applications.
Gartner Says the Future of
the Data Center Is Software-
Defined
Future of the Internet

10. From my Perspective
From my perspective the internet will evolve towards a
decentralized Internet in the sense of needs by nations
and the regularization of it will mean that each country
regularises the internet according to their needs.
The Internet as such will be used in a collective sense towards the massification of sensing everything
