Online entertainment a decade from now will obviously have quite a few changes!
Micro payments will be the way everything is viewed and purchased. Instead of being able to access information for free, companies will now be charging very small fees for accessed viewing. Consumers will be willing to do this because the fees are so small, but the amount of consumers paying the fees will mean huge revenue for corporations and businesses. For example, instead of being able to read the latest headline of the electoral race for free, you would go through a news site such as CNN, and pay a nickel for every article you access. It will be the same for entertainment sites such as People, TMZ, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Maxim, etc.
Data transmission speeds will be so phenomenally fast that mobile gaming will be THE platform. All online games will be fully accessible on mobile platforms.
The recently invented 3-D erasable and re-writable hologram technology from the University of Arizona will lead to holographic 3-D becoming prevalent in entertainment. Viewing sports games at home will be a whole different experience! Imagine if this had been available when Prince William got married. We could have paid a small fee to watch a hologram of the wedding, feeling almost as if we were there!
3-D technology will also advance to become the way most games are played. Not only will the 3-D technology we know today be a part of gaming, but touch, smell, and taste will be included. Motion sensors will play a big part. Your entire body will be involved in the game-play. It will be more and more difficult to differentiate between games and reality.
