2.0, a virtual new world.  Imagine if you will, taking our
current planet, and Digitizing it, uploading it as the Internet
2.0. We use the internet today and think it's the most advanced
thing we have ever used. Yet in 100 years, the internet will
look drastically different, I think it's going to be visual like
our world around us is. Allowing for more easily accessible
features to become even more second nature. Think walking around
your neighborhood for a stroll. Now imagine opening up a web
browser and walking around the internet, starting at your home,
go out in your virtual yard and see and interact with those
around you. Or maybe even just teleport to another location
miles away in milliseconds, and play a game with someone across
the world visually. We do this already but not in the same
context, you'll see them as if they were actually there and most
likely with all sensations intact.
