The internet has not yet fulfilled its whole potential, one of the inventors of the web has claimed.
Speaking at a seminar discussing the future of the internet, Sir Tim Berners-Lee said that the web he envisages has still not come to pass.
"The future is still so much bigger than the past," he remarked, according to AFP.
Vinton Cerf, vice-president and chief internet evangelist at Google, went on to predict that there will be even more web users and more widespread mobile access to the internet in the future.
He also said that the internet will likely become speedier, while more appliances will eventually be able to be controlled via the web.
There were more than one billion online globally as of December 2008, according to comScore.
China was the country with the biggest online population, followed by the US, Japan, Germany and the UK, the research company's figures showed.
