IGF11 Qusai Al-Shatti talks about Internet gateways, apps, social networks

Qusai Al-Shatti, deputy chairman of the Kuwait Information Technology Society, responds to the question "In 2015 will most people generally go DIRECTLY to the World Wide Web to do their work, shopping, socializing and other online activities - as they have the past 20 years - OR will most people generally be using apps or social networks as their gateways for doing everything? Which will dominate most people's lives online - the open Web or apps and social networks?" Recorded by a documentary team from the Imagining the Internet Center at Elon University as part of a video survey of nearly 80 of the more than 1,000 participants in the 2011 Global Internet Governance Forum in Nairobi, Kenya.
