What Will the Internet Look Like in the next 5 - 7 Years?

We all know that the Internet is one of the most important tools of our time, but we can’t afford to take the Internet—or its future—for granted.

There are uncertainties facing the Internet’s future and how they evolve will have a profound impact on society and our ability to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges.

  • How might the Internet of the future look different than today?
  • How might key trends and uncertainties unfold to create different future paths?
  • What may be at risk and what could be impacted?

To help answer these and other questions, the Internet Society is embarking on a collaborative initiative to envision scenarios for the evolution of the Internet.

We will look at the trends and uncertainties impacting the Internet’s future, the issues of greatest concern globally and regionally, how various future scenarios could impact different uses of the Internet, and recommendations for creating the future Internet we want.

Ultimately, we hope this process will help us all better prepare for the opportunities and challenges the future may hold.

We want your participation!

To get started, we would like your perspective on the forces of change you think will shape the future development and direction of the Internet (and the world that interacts with it) over the next 5-7 years.

The survey is available in English, French and Spanish and will be open until 8 April. If you would like more information on the project, please see the Future of the Internet webpage, which will be updated as we go along.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact us through our project email address at [email protected].

Thank you for participating in this survey and sharing it with others!
