ComputerWorld has an interview with Sean Koehl, a technology evangelist with Intel Labs, who predicts that the Internet will look different in 5 to 10 years. He states that much of the Internet will be in 3-D. That is not much of a prediction, in my opinion. I predict that the weather will be different in 5 to 10 days. However, the title is a bit misleading. This leads me to believe that the fault lies more with the writer of the article than with Mr. Koehl himself. For example, at one point he says:

The Internet may never go fully 3-D, but making 3-D environments broadly accessible is probably capable within five years,” noted Koehl. “I think it remains to be seen but there are certain kinds of interactions people will want in two dimensions, like reading text. The things we’ll do in three dimensions may be things that we don’t do at all on the Internet today because it isn’t feasible.
