Seven Predications for the New Millennium
---- Dr. Arun Netravali, Previous President of Bell Labs



  1. We will see a mega-network of networks that will enfold the earth in a communications "skin" with ubiquitous connectivity and enormous bandwidth.

  2. By 2010, there will be so many interconnected devices that the volume of "infrachatter" among communicating machines will surpass communications among human.

  3. Bandwidth will be too cheap to meter.

  4. Consumers and businesses will have a vast variety of individualized, custom services-written by countless programmers on an open mega-network.

  5. Today's Internet will dramatically transform to a broadband "Hi-IQNet" -- with natural interfaces, with active Web sites, and with software agents to extract desired information via text, voice, images and video.

  6. The mega-network or Hi-IQNet will act as a high-level mediator to bring together humans and information of all kinds.

  7. We will see a new Age of Virtuality that will transform the way of people live and conduct their business.
