Fasthosts has teamed up with two key experts, leading futurologists Dr James Bellini and Andrew Gill, to uncover how the internet will change over the next 30 years, and to better see how the digital landscape is set to evolve in the coming decades.

Immersive VR, eye implants to view our social feeds, predictive algorithms, and green web hosting are just a few of the huge advancements to come over the next 30 years. Find out what’s in store for the digital world in the list below:

Social Networks: An Eye Implant to View Our Social Media Feed

Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence: Brain Computer Interface Replaces Virtual Reality

  • Virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) will pave the way for a more streamlined online experience, whether for ecommerce, entertainment, or business.
  • Thanks to rapid developments in the field of brain-computer interface technology, by 2040 users will be able to send information and commands through mere brain signals.
  • By 2050 it’s expected that consumers will be able to plug nanobots directly into the brain for full-immersion virtual reality that directly influences the nervous system.
  • We’ll soon see VR developments across a broader spectrum of senses, to simulate smell and taste as current technology does sight.

  • While extreme computing brings countless benefits, it could also trigger major concern; as we become ever-more connected, those who intend to break through encryption barriers could use super-fast machines to do so in an instant and take an immediate hold over the lives of millions.

Payment: A Cashless Society is Only Around the Corner

  • The demise of cash has been long coming, and a total reduction of physical money is predicted before the turn of the next decade, with 60% of UK adults expecting a completely cashless society by 2030.

Customer Service: Algorithms which Predict Our Needs
