Taking gambling online transformed the industry. Social networking sites, user generated content and high speed access are now transforming the online landscape. The standards under development at the World Wide Web Consortium will shape the Web of tomorrow. This Session provides a survey of both technical (the browser as application platform, peer-to-peer, video on the web, the mobile web, the semantic web) and social (privacy and security, internationalization, accessibility) initiatives currently underway at W3C and elsewhere, and their likely impact on the future of the Web.
