What will the world look like in 2020? Focus on technology including the Internet.
I think by 2020 there will be hardly any people without a computer and the internet will be instantly available. People will always be contactable wherever they are in the world and the world will be a place dependent on “The Net”.
“The world is getting smaller”. What does this mean?
this means that as the worlds technology advances we are effectively bringing ourselves closer together as global neighbours. now it is simple to talk to sombody on the other side of the world in real time whereas we used to hae to send letters and wait days enven weeks to get an answer!
What would the world look like if the Internet was never invented?
I don’t think that the world would look much different but the way we communicate and research would be extremely slow and we would basically be back where we were in the 1960’s! that means “Snail Mail” would be considered lightning fast 
This also means unlike today we would spend hours in crowded libraries instead of just “googling” our topic. It is hard to believe how much the internet has shaped our way of life.
