The future of Websites

I attended WebVisions, a web designer conference held in Portland last week. I’ve been checking out WebVisions the past couple of years and really enjoy learning about what’s coming up on the radar and what’s new in the Web Design world.

This year the focus was the future and I’m happy to say my impression of the future is pretty positive. The two things that everyone seem to keep repeating were:

1)  Open-ID – having one username and password to login your Facebook, Twitter, and other accounts

2) Open Source – having the source code of software available to the public to design, develop, distribute, and share. For example – most of Microsoft’s software is the opposite of open-source.

Hearing those two themes mentioned over and over again was such a relief! I develop and host websites in a mostly open-source environment and I feel that it’s a solid foundation to work off of.

What do you want to see change in the future for the online world? What would make your life easier/better online?
