Headline: How Technology Will Affect Future Internet Users
Nutshell: Future internet technology will affect how lazy and dependent consumers will become.
Vision:The Internet will have the ability to do just about anything for anyone. Now, you have the ability to order clothes, gifts, books, etc., and have them delivered to your doorstep. Technology has been furthering right before our eyes. In 10 years, you will have the ability to order just about anything you can think of and have it delivered almost instantly. Now, you usually wait 3-7 days for delivery, but I believe this will change.
This will make the general population extremely lazy and very dependent on the Internet and its possiblities. Instead of driving around town to run errands, you will be able to sit in front of your computer and have everything done right in front of you, instantly.
