What we know as the World Wide Web — the main way by which most of us access the Internet — just turned 25 this year.

One American researcher even links the Internet to a decline in religious affiliation. An estimated 5 billion of us are expected to have Internet access in the next decade, but what will the Internet look like then? How easily will we be able to get, share and create with it?
