In the future the Internet will need to develop technically to support its growing population and the rapid increase in connected devices, but it will also need to develop institutionally to support the needs and desires of developing nations that are massively underrepresented in the debates surrounding the Internet’s governance and institutions. The Internet has shifted the way that much of humanity communicates and interacts on a global scale. Its development has been gradual and, in many ways, largely unplanned.
