It seems no matter where we go or what we do, ‘the
network is always there’, making us available to the world
to make ever more demands. As we move toward 2020, the
number of communication channels is likely to continue to
diversify and we could be making ourselves always available
in even more ways than we are today. These trends could
make the old ways of talking, sharing and meeting with
others obsolete, or they could give us more choice and offer
richer possibilities in how we connect with others and who
we connect with.
