Introduction
From the underlying infrastructure to the way users engage, the Internet is evolving in many ways. The Internet Society’s 2017
report foresaw a hyper connected Internet economy, one in which no sector of the economy or part of society would be untouched by technology. Among
the other questions it posed, the report also asked if this technology-driven disruption would favor the existing Internet economy players, or usher in
greater competition and entrepreneurship. In the 2019 report, the Internet Society explores the evolving Internet economy further. It examines the growing
presence the Internet platforms have in the Internet economy, and what the implications might be for society, innovation, competition, and the economy,
as well as the Internet’s broader architecture.

b. Lengthened version of the 32 bits to 128 bits.
c. Manual Configuration is not required
d. Moves data to an Internet Protocol Version 6 extension headers

2. World Wide Web and Hypertext Markup Language. These links will lead to different data stored in a computer through network. This gives
access to the following contents from resources called websites.
3. Browser/Search Engines. Browser is a type of software program that gives way to World Wide Web in its capabilities in accessing data while a

Opportunities and Challenges

1. Smarter Cities
Because of the technological advances, cities will be able to use this in controlling different aspects of that is vital to t he development of
the community. This also includes the business and cities itself in handling large data and in monitoring the safety of the people in a community by
the use of surveillance cameras and even transportations.
2. Access
The internet allows us to have an easy access to information and data and enable us to control it. But with these capabilities, there are greater
risks. This involves the violation of privacy and other cybercrime-related issues. With these and the participation of everyone who is in the expertise,
expect that more actions will be taken to resolve these issues.

3. Governance
The government itself can make use of the Internet in providing services for the citizens. In the presence of Internet, governing a particular
state is much easier as it provides resources in creation, reinforcement, or reproduction of social norms and institutions.
The United Nations formed the Internet Governance Forum during the 2013 and 2015 World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS),
the main purpose ot its creation concerns With connecting people to share information that can lead to solutions in a particular Internet issue. This forum
also includes sharing ideas and thoughts that can lead to different useful developments in a given Internet Governance.

4. Security
It is still a challenge for Internet to manage and handle large-scale data, which is mainly because of the wider connectivity of networks that
is more prone to security problems. On the other hand, with the evolution of Internet called the Internet of things, more ways to handle these issues
like security breaches will likely be taken into action.

5. Businesses/ E-Commerce
With the internet's integration in business, a company is able to manage its data effectively and in predicting sales based on the data given.
Internet is widely used by businesses who wanted to keep track of their sales and the progress regarding the satisfaction and the development of their
business process. Also with higher interconnectivity, organizations find it easier to acquire data and use it and improve their service as a basis for
their innovation. Also because of the complexity of Internet, it would be a challenge for these organizations to be able to make it their strength.
The Future Ahead: The Internet and the Millennial

Industrial Internet
An Emphasis to Digital Literacy
Digital Literacy refers to the skills of evaluating and analyzing contents about
technology use. It also pertains to the generation of information and the way of communicating it
effectively with the use of cognitive and technical skills of a person. This may include the creation
of contents in a website and the integration of tools for sharing it. Nowadays, it is very important
that humans are digital literates especially for millennials who are widely using the Internet and are
equipped with different technologies. It is for the reason that in sharing and creating information,
there should be standards or restrictions to it and people should analyze the data first as it had a
definite impact to others that is considered part of a network. With the fast-changing development
 in Internet, Digital Literacy is much in need to effectively use the Internet and reach its purpose in
forming and sharing relevant information.

The Connection between the Internet and the Millennials

We are now living in a Digital World and as one of the generation is much more concerned about the capabilities of Internet, it is more
likely to affect them positively and not in a negative manner. This is because of the realization that they are actually livi ng in the world that is already
equipped with different technological advances and a world where everyone is connected. In a research conducted, the impact of Internet to Millennials
is examined with application to the year 2020.

Advantages of Hyper-connectivity to Millennials in Today's Generation and into the Future

1. Way of Communication. Social media sites are the new way for the millennials to express their thoughts, emotions and share information to their
colleagues and friends. With this, they are able to communicate with other people through the use of online messaging and through emails. This
creates an easy access to individuals connected to a network and gives convenience in sending and acquiring information.
2. Gathering Information. To find or locate for something in the internet, mostly users make use of the browsers and search engines. Most of these
users are millennials who are using these engines tor their personal, academic and professional life. However, at the top of these applications are the
social media sites that include informative contents.
3. Entertainment. The internet has become a way of entertainment for many users. Video Media Sites. Entertainment sites and Web/Mobile Gaming
enable the users to interact with different devices powered by the Internet that keeps them interested in it.
4. Convenience. Online shopping and other e-commerce is at its highest trend specially this year 2018. It is well known for the convenience it gives to
the people especially for those customers to buy their branded bags and fashion accessories anytime and anywhere. This is expected to grow in the
future years.

5. Develop Thinking Capacity. Due to the advancement in technology with the help of Internet, human acquire knowledge and from it, they learn and
discover something. Internet is not only providing education to individuals but instead it leads to the complex ability of humans to visualize things in
a larger Scale allowing them to solve real lite and mathematical problems that can eventually help the society and them personally.

Disadvantages
1. Poor life decisions. Millennials nowadays are very dependent to search engines resulting to results that mostly are the basis for their decision-
making, It is because the generation now are very time-conscious and wanted to accomplish a task in a taster way, Moreover, because these search
engines apparently similar to a human's capability to think, these will much likely negatively affect someone’s lives, as people cannot be able to
determine the difference of facts and opinions. Millennials specially are very fond of instants and they are actually applying it to the world of
internet.
2. Poor Learning Behavior Impacts on every users learning behavior would likely alter caused by the high interaction with Internet. Based on the
research conducted by Pew Research Center, too much dependence on the information from the Internet would result in lessening the deep
thinking capabilities of individuals.
3. Lack of social skills. Together with poor learning behavior, humans specially the millennials would probably suffer from different social issues.
It is because of the walls created by the Internet to the real world that most millennials do not have a chance to go out and communicate with their
families and friends in a face-to-face manner. This would link to poor self-confidence and different mental illnesses, which was proven by different
statistical research conducted by different organizations concerned in the issue mental
4. Unhealthy Lifestyle. Internet addiction is already an issue since then and part of the expectation in the future years is it will still become a huge
problem of the society. We cannot remove the fact that everyone is attached in his or her phones and so we are informed of the effects of too
much usage of these devices in our health. Some of these are the sedentary lifestyle and the development of carpal tunnel syndrome.
