This document summarizes a presentation about the future of the internet between 2011-2020. The presentation discusses 10 key trends that will shape the internet: e-government 2.0, creating a culture of innovation, cloud computing, the internet of things, big data, transparency, consumerization, people-centered design, community, and the need for updated policies. The presentation argues the internet is less than 20% developed and the next decade will see as much or more change than the last 20 years, including ubiquitous wireless connectivity and over 100 billion internet-connected devices.
