InfoVision is "successor" to TV with any multimedia information delivered on demand( choice from infinite number of channels)
Community Networks will define local societies and will have significant impact on local government
Shopping on the Web will include multimedia digital yellow pages , Commerce, online catalogs (which is InfoVision again) as well as perhaps powerful VR interfaces where you can try out new clothes and cars
Collaboration (gossip as in computer forums) could be an important and dominant use but perhaps not initial major one
