The coming crisis of Internet communication systems
Progress is made in jumps, steps. We have already witnessed this more than once.
At one time, the presence of a significant part of the world's population of Internet access and e-mail, provided an avalanche spread of social networks, and 10 years before this, the output of payment systems on the Internet resulted in a boom in the creation of electronic stores. Mobile phones with cameras + mobile Internet and here you have the phenomena of Instagram and ForthSquare, etc. etc.
What next?
It seems to me that a new wave is coming very close. The wave associated with speech recognition. Simple and effective text editors will appear, capable of “correcting” recognition deficiencies, and they will also booster the development of keyboard and touch speech input systems. The voice, as it is imperceptibly, will become one of the main ways of writing texts.

So what? - you ask.
And that's what. Here lies a huge challenge for classic Internet communication systems, that is, for blogs and forums.
What we now consider as large streams of textual information (emails, forums, sms, tweets) is nothing compared to what happens after opening a wide channel “voice -> text”.
Volumes of textual information will become astronomical, all those who comment on events sitting on the sofa by the TV will not fail to take the opportunity to leave their Word on the Web, especially if you just need to say it or point your finger at your device a couple of times.
How will this affect the Internet communication systems?
The problems that still exist will be magnified many times:
1. The difficulty of identifying valuable and reliable information
2. The difficulty of keeping focused communication with a large number of participants
3. The complexity of digesting with large amounts of information
Can we talk about the need to create a next generation communication system? Yes.
Are classic blogging systems + comments, tweet feeds, forums ideal? Not.
What needs to be changed in the approach to building communication systems, so that they meet the new wave of texts fully armed, and not choked in a sea of ​​content, leaving only foam of virus clips and smelly news on the surface?
I think I know the answer.
We must look at the Internet communication again, intently, and understand that this is the main thing that we need from the Internet.
