During an appearance at the World Economic Forum, the Google exec painted a very different future for the Web.
There are plenty of dying markets: DVD rentals, newspaper publishing, appliance repair. And, according to Google's Eric Schmidt, the Internet.
During an appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the Google executive chairman argued that, one day, "the Internet will disappear."
But before you envision a connectivity-free future, Schmidt's comments suggest that the Google exec envisions a future where the Internet as we know it will evolve into a system that's just there and always on.
"There will be so many IP addresses so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with that you won't even sense it," he said, as published by The Hollywood Reporter. "It will be part of your presence all the time.
"Imagine you walk into a room, and the room is dynamic. And with your permission and all of that, you are interacting with the things going on in the room," he continued. "A highly personalized, highly interactive and very, very interesting world emerges."
On mobile, Schmidt is less certain. "All bets are off as to what the smartphone app infrastructure is going to look like," he said. "I view that as a completely open market at this point."
The panel, which included Schmidt, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and Vodafone chief Vittorio Colao, was led by Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook, who extolled the importance of an expanding global Web presence.
With 5 billion people around the world still without Internet access, "the only way this changes is if it gets cheaper," Sandberg said, as reported by The New York Times.
Facebook and Google are both taking steps to bring more people online: The social network continues to broaden its Internet.org service, while Google's Project Loon is moving into new locations.

Eric Schmidt: 'The Internet Will Disappear'
EDGEWATER, N.J., Jan. 23 (UPI) -- A fire that devastated a luxury apartment building was ruled to be an accidental result of construction repairs gone wrong.
The fire started when workers were doing plumbing repairs, and spark spread through the walls and the building. Questions surround why the fire was able to spread so quickly and do such severe damage. Gov. Chris Christie said there will be a review to see if the building was up to code. Avalon, the company that owns the complex, said it was built to code, which is focused on saving lives rather than the building.
"There was nothing suspicious about it, and we have complete verification, and there's no doubt about it," said Edgewater Police Chief William Skidmore. "It's just a tragic accident."
Five hundred people are homeless as a result. The fire started Wednesday evening and by Thursday morning 200 of the 408 units were up in smoke.
There are no missing persons but several pets are believed to have died.

Luxury apartment fire that displaced hundreds sparked by plumbing repair
EDGEWATER, N.J. (WABC) --
"I don't think we've got much more time in here," said a firefighter over radio transmission.
For the first time, Eyewitness News has obtained the desperate radio transmissions as firefighters rushed to evacuate the Avalon at Edgewater.
They used a ladder to bash in apartment windows in a last ditch attempt to vent the building. And then, there was the blaring of air horns. The universal sign it's time for even the rescuers to run for safety.
Minutes later, the inferno would be ravaging nearly the entire complex, which then disintegrated piece by burning piece.
"Being homeless in a couple of hours, it's horrible. You can't imagine. You left everything inside and you don't know what's going to happen," said Uzeyir Karabiyik, a resident.
The images are seared on the minds of Uzeyir Karabiyik and his family. And they are the lucky ones. They still have a home in the so-called River building. It was the only part of the complex to emerge intact.
"We have started the process of allowing people to get their lives back together and turning towards normalcy as to what we can call normal," an official said during a press conference.
This is not normal.
Two neighbors from Scranton, Pennsylvania had their trucks stuffed with donations from friends and drove 120 miles there to drop it off.

Londons affordable housing investment will pay for about 15 percent fewer properties than it would have three years ago because of soaring construction costs, consulting firm EC Harris LLP said.
The city government will spend 1.25 billion pounds ($1.89 billion) constructing 45,000 affordable homes in London through 2018. If it had been invested in 2012, when the construction market was at a low point, the money London is spending now would have built 6,300 extra homes and created 2,000 jobs a year, Mark Farmer, head of EC Harriss residential team, said in a report.
It is surely a common-sense philosophy to maximize the expenditure of public money when you can get more bang for your buck, Farmer said. Some major infrastructure programs such as Crossrail have proceeded on this basis during the depths of the recession, but it would appear publicly funded or subsidized housing has not.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne cut spending on housing for the countrys poorest by 60 percent from 2011 through 2015 as he focused on reducing Britains budget deficit. The number of social and affordable homes completed in England fell by almost 30 percent in fiscal 2014 from three years earlier, according to government statistics.

Bricklayers stand on scaffolding as they work on the "Catford Green" residential apartment complex during construction in the Catford district of London. Much of the U.K.s low-cost housing is funded today by private developers through levies paid in return for having their projects approved.
Every pound spent on homebuilding results in a 2.75-pound benefit for the economy, meaning the government should spend more on housing when the economys weak, Farmer said.
Much of the U.K.s low-cost housing is funded today by private developers through levies paid in return for having their projects approved. That means affordable housing construction moves up and down with the private market, when it should be doing the opposite, Farmer said
