Hence, 2012 is expected to see a huge development in terms of the web industry. Here are the top five predictions about the Internet:

The fact is that 2012 has been predicted with the end of the world, though it might not be true, but it is obvious that there might be many problems during this year. The question is how you will deal with them.
