Paragraph
Our scenario’s research topic is about ‘the future of the computer browser’. More specified we
are interested in web-browsing and not file or private network browsing. This due to the latest
trends (and hypes) regarding the World Wide Web like cloud computing, web 2.0 and web 3.0.
These technologies start to get more and more weaved into the interest of the business world.
Transactions are done with browsers but entertainment is even as important.
We intend to focus our scenario’s research into the future of the web browser. In other words
what justifies the existence of the web browser?
- Is it going to be a stronger commodity, especially because of all the development and
trends around the web browser?
- Or is it going to be just a supportive tool and shift more to the background in the future?
- Is the browser going to be blown away as a staged setting with replacing technology or
because of sociological awareness?
- How does the future of the browser fit into the strategy of companies like Mozilla, Opera,
Apple, Google and Microsoft?
- Will there be eventually one main browser? Are the browser wars going to continue?
- What are the roles of the upcoming economies (Asia, South America) to future
development of the browser?
