The Next Internet Breakthrough

By Elliot James


I frequently try to ask myself what the next great idea might be on the net. Since the origin of the considerable utilization of the internet in the 1990's, there have been a handful of major breakthroughs that have altered the arena of marketing on the internet.

The initial one was Google. There were lots of search engines in the very beginning of the web yet it was not a lengthy period of time before "google" was a verb and Google was gobbling up over 80% search volume on the internet. Unquestionably still in takeover form and running closer to 100 % control of online search and boosting their share of the market in other businesses like mobile phones. Keeping track of exactly what Google is executing is a must for any person who hopes to promote on the internet.

The subsequent key innovation was the progression of web based streaming videos and YouTube. On account of faster internet connection speeds being more widely offered, streaming video became accessible and YouTube matured virally mainly because of the simplicity of adding and sharing your very own movies. Today a web page is not really worth squat if it doesn't have a online video to advertise a service or product.

The most recent advancement is even now playing itself out. You guessed it! It's social media. To start with it was Myspace pages, then Twitter and facebook. The advancement of Facebook and Twitter have been enough to confront the absolute domination of the big three search engines and change the way individuals enjoy their time online. Now, a small-business would be silly to never utilize Facebook, Twitter, and other social marketing practices while promoting their venture.

Individuals who forecasted these developments or created them themselves are now incredibly rich. People who were able to swiftly take advantage of these breakthrough discoveries are enjoying the amazing benefits of remaining adaptive and ready to adjust to a developing web. Here are a couple of questions and thought processes to be prepared for the future breakthrough on the internet.

The Advancement of the Mobile Web

Many more people will be browsing using their cell phones and portable tablets. Site owners must adjust to design websites that are smartphone friendly. As use of mobile web browsers evolves, this will consistently get more and more imperative. As web developers make their images scaled-down, mobile phone displays are becoming larger with portable tablets more popular. This problem appears to be limited to only a handful of years when smartphones had very tiny display screens. Regardless, with mobile browsing expanding, it's crucial that site visitors can check out your website content easily.

Get Rid of Mouse and Keyboard

Each time you see people using pcs in movies set in future years, they are hardly ever making use of a keyboard and mouse. They are always employing some type of 3D hologram or speech triggered user interface. It's going to happen it's merely a matter of time. So what does that lead to for web entrepreneurs? What will it mean for promoting on search engines? Voice search is already becoming a lot more popular with mobile phones so online marketers should think about keywords that are spoken instead of written. They may very well be the exact same but often times there is a big difference in spoken word and typed-out phrases. This is likewise highly critical for technology organizations and inventors. A lot of profit has been made retailing computer keyboards and mice over the last 35 years but they may be obsolete in the near future.

Google Ever After

Will there ever be a greater solution to look for items on the internet rather than entering a search phrase into a search engine (or speaking a search)? I've been wracking my brain trying to think of what will come after Google but I cannot come up with it. One particular advancement in recent years is individualized advertising. Google has been on the leading edge of this technology. They have so much access to visitor activity on the internet that they can effortlessly individualize ads to target advertisements to internet surfers that have proven interest in the things being advertised. This doesn't imply search will shift necessarily but it may imply that individuals will dedicate much less precious time searching in google and a lot more time clicking on focused ads on websites. In any event, it's sales revenue for Google so they don't care.

Many people don't worry about anticipating the upcoming substantial technology improvement in computing and web technology but those who do will experience the reward of being the early movers.
