2018 and the Internet: our predictions

In 2017, John Graham-Cumming made seven predictions including an increase in DDoS attack size, more prevalent use of QUIC protocols, IPv6 becoming the norm for mobile networks, and a SHA-1 collision being announced. He scored 9 out of 14 on these predictions. For 2018, he predicts that over half of HTTPS connections will be via TLS 1.3, vendor lock-in with cloud computing vendors will become a major concern, deep learning hype will subside but AI/ML salaries will remain high, k8s will dominate as the platform for cloud computing, quantum resistant crypto will be widely deployed in machine-to-machine links across the internet, mobile traffic will account for 60% of all Internet traffic by year end, and stable BTC/USD exchanges will emerge.
