Future internet is all about ultra fast speeds and better security. Crypto currency transactions will take (microseconds) and 4k video streaming will be the norm.
There is also a dystopian future for the Internet straight out of Goerge Orwell's 1984. This dystopian Internet will be powered by DRM, propriety software, and large "premium" content providers. Let us not forget that Apple has already placed millions of telescreens in the hands of unsuspecting citizens worldwide. They are called iPads and iPhones. Microsoft is also placing telescreens in the form of Windows 8 RT tablets.
Take a look at the list of supporters of SOPA and PIPA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organizations_with_official_stances_on_the_SOPA_and_PIPA. They are fighting for an Orwellian dystopian Internet. Keep also an eye on those supporters that backed off when it got to hot.

Quite possibly, we can't forget the dark side of the equation: The advent of instantly accessible devices from anywhere, mass surveillance through hacking peoples web devices, when everything is connected to the internet, even your refrigirator is spying on you. But of course people don't like that and hopefully strong enough controls are put in so that people can decide to opt in instead of having to opt out of a enterprise data gathering operation.
massive Botnets of course now have much easier access to cameras and microphones, gps data gathering, computational processing, malicious data mining.
Processing power hijackings for massively cordinated attacks, phishing for the 21st century.
When you consider that there are 17 yottaflops worth of processing power on earth... you begin to see the scope of the problem...That is a massive UltraComputer.
Yottaflop = 10^24 FLOPS
compared to
Petaflops = 10^18 FLOPS
Thats a lot of zeroes, for perspective you should read this article on wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOPS
Folding@Home and Boinc are already distributedly computing 10 Petaflops regularly and the biggest single supercomputers are currently running at 54 petaflops(Tianhe-2), Cray has said that they will probably be able to build a Exaflop level computer in 2019, what if a year from now we can use the resources of 17 Yottaflops of processing power? There's a lot of good and evil that can be done with that.
What if someone launches a phishing attack against computer time contributors and directs it towards building a virus that mutates or zombifies people? just like some Funguses do in the wild?

I came up with another idea, a direct connect Artificial Intelligence, just go to a website download the client and run it to join a voluntary A.I botnet, that would be pretty cool; Could test different types of designs to see which ones work better. Hell it's only a matter of time before someone builds a web based Hadoop Cluster, which automatically sets you up with the cluster, They can virtualize Storage, Memory and CPU at the moment, just add support for add on cards and you have a pretty crazy setup capable of acting as one massive computer.
I'm looking forward to seeing a market place for distributed computation. It would be hard to setup but once built it's live for everyone in the world.
So well be able to build Distributed Computing platforms, deployable directly from the web.
F@H one click away, always up to date, synchronized for massive parallel computing... A Folding Pool.
Distributed work using computers. We will connect our computers to any project that needs our computing power, voluntarily or for payment fully configured as easy to contribute as typing in a URL.
Distributed Human to Human Intelligence platform, post questions in a massive system that connects all Q&A website, data mining the knowledge of all humanity, and adding your questions to its massive database for predictive answering, cause if it's been asked once it'll probably be asked again...

The Internet is fun，anything can happen there
It is the advent of an economic upheaval equal to that of the Industrial Revolution. What is possible now was impossible just a few decades ago.
Everyone will benefit from this thanks to Bitcoin, You can now pay for secure services and software straight off of your browser, subscribe to services directly through the internet, setup any service at the click of a button, Of course many industries will die, others will adapt and change, some we have never seen before.
It will be positive to adapt to this new paradigm.

And many will have their coins stolen. Doing everything in your browser with javascript is great technology, but not a great way to store coins.

The propagation of programs and services will be greatly disrupted because of this, no need for proprietary steam like software, Free programs will propagate faster more easily, Pay per service programs will use Cryptocurrency for quick spur of the moment content purchases, Internet 2.0-3.0 functionality and re-mixability of programs, direct human to human services with commonly used platforms that run along side all programs(the repairman digitally comes to you, distributed jobs), no need to download software just run it off the web from any browser... The changes are going to be monumental
But the downside... the redistribution of legacy services and their imminent death. It will be a bad decade for a lot of people who can't adapt fast enough...
Enter the Bitcoin(Litecoin,Peercoin,Freicoin) and all the cryptocurrencies that can monetize any action or value possible, Devtome for writers, developers, artists; Franko's for social engineering efforts, Namecoin for distributed internet access, Tagbond reward points, Curecoin biological research, Ripple distributed exchange, Primecoin prime search and many more that I cannot think of, the redistribution of wealth is going to be interesting.
Much of the technology to create truly monumental social change has already been built by many organizations around the world like the Apache Software Foundation, building Enterprise software to provide better services to global customers, Mozilla, giving people across the world access to possibilities they may never of had without them, Google, building phenomenal services for everyone not to mention some excellent opensource software, the NoSQL movement creating some really scalable databases with amazing capabilities, and not to mention all the opensource/hardware movements everywhere... What will we not be able to contribute to? What will we not be able to build?

There will be changes in turn the world upside down
We have constructed a fantastic network of networks, and even virtual networks within networks. Things have come such a long way from where things began back in 1995 when the controls over access to the Internet were dissolved.
The combined intelligence that this internet has provided us is tremendous, I now can learn any subject I want from anywhere in the world with a mobile device, get updates on my friends and family; I have seen the Internet Democratize broadcasting, turning it into the greatest repository of knowledge ever created, but what about creation, true collaboration and access to any program required from anywhere?
This is the future.
I began checking out the forum at mozilla when I found out about Firefox OS, it seemed incredible; I understood the concept so deep, powerful, run anything from anywhere.
I looked into the details behind Boot2Gecko and it's underlying components, Gonk Linux, Gecko, and Gaia... all compiled to JavaScript! What the hell.
If you wish to experience the shock and contemplate the possibilities that this new perspective can do, go here, to the emscripten github page.
https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki
You'll find a few very impressive demos of compilers and video game engines compiled to asm.js, the extension of JavaScript they are using. I can't believe we had this technology available this whole time, someone just had to see it in the right light.
The possibilities that I see are access to a Cryptocoin wallet with direct connectivity to anyone in the world as many of them as you want whenever running from the browser on any platform.
Instant access for anyone to any software without ever having to compile it for any other platform... just one, HTML 5.
Distributed 3D applications, whether it is a GIMP clone or a 3d application running locally or distributedly, hell maybe a massive ad hoc Hadoop cluster running on yarn to create a distributedly rendered video game accessible from anywhere.
So do you have any ideas? Thought of any possibilities that can be made possible by this democratization of access to tools, services, and new forms of collaboration, like distributed computation platforms that anyone can contribute algorithms too; How long do you think before someone starts creating massive scientific simulations on a platform that is as easy to use as typing in a URL.
Who would have thought that the Future's killer app would be the Internet, it was there this whole time.
