It’s easyto laugh now.Ten years ago, companies like Netscape had to explain what “browser” means; the two founders of Google were just ordinary Stanford students. Over the past ten years, the Internet has totally changed everyday life for millions people around the world. Looking back over the last 10 years,the obvious question is: Where will the Internet take us in the future?

    One of the best places to start trying to answer the question is with a man widely known as one of the “fathers of the Internet”, Between 1968 and 1982, Vinton Cerf played an important role in developing the network technology for wider use. In a recent article, Cerf wrote that the believed the Internet would continue to enhance people’s life through suond, video, etc.Interestingly, he also noted with confidence that 90percent of all applications on the Internet had yet to be invented. In the more distant future, Cerf predicted that an interplanetary(星际间) Internet would connect the shuttle, ground stations and other spacecraft.

Meantime, back on the earth,a survey from the nonprofit Pew Internet and American Life Project from early last year looked at how the internet would affect our lives in 10 years’time. The study looked at a wide range of topics, and it found some concerns along with the celebration. On the top of list of worries is a cyber(网络) attack. Many Internet experts agree that computer criminals are simply waiting for the right opportunity to strike. According to the Pew study, about 66% Internet users believe at least one devastating(毁灭性的) attack will occur in the next 10 years. Howard Schmidt, Who has worked on security issues at Microsoft company, said, “We will have self-repairing and self-configuring computer systems that can effectively protect one’s computer, so one perform the fuction they want,” said Sehmidt.
