Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt was asked about his prediction on the future of the Internet during his talk with the business and political elite, on Jan. 22, Thursday, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the Hollywood Reporter.
"I will answer very simply that the Internet will disappear. There will be so many IP address, so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with that you won't even sense it," Schmidt replied at the end of the panel.
According to Schmidt, the Internet will be part of people's presence all the time. He explained, "Imagine you walk into a room and you are interacting with all the things going on in that room."
For the Google boss, a highly personalized, highly interactive and very interesting world will emerge in the future through the Internet.
During the event, the leaders of Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Vodafone sought to alleviate worries that the fast-paced technological advance was killing employment, NDTV reported.
Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg admitted that people are worried about jobs, and admitted that the transformation in technology world is happening faster than ever before but technology creates jobs "not only in the tech space but outside."
Schmidt supported Sandberg's claim by quoting statistics he said showed that each tech job created between five and seven jobs in a different side of the economy. He added that the debate about the negative impact of technology on employment has been around for centuries and what is different is "the speed of change."
