Predictions
Background
“For every person online, there are two who are not. By the end of the decade, everyone on Earth will be connected.”
Google chairman Eric Schmidt has gazed into his crystal ball and boldly predicted that everyone in the world will be online by 2020.
Schmidt‘s prophecy was met with some derision, with multiple users noting that plenty of the world doesn’t yet have ready access to food or water. User Omar Sa’d replied: “Even the kids in Africa dying of thirst and salvation? Hmmm, let’s hope we can get that problem sorted before enabling them to tweet about not being able to find a supply of water.”
Meanwhile, Jerome Hanson was a little blunter: “I definitely like reading these thoughts. But this is some pretty lofty s**t to say. Let’s not get too carried away here.”
