The Future
The readings I did for this session “New Methods, New Goals Shneiderman,Chapter)”, “Always-On Panopticon...or Cooperation Amplifier (Rheingold, Chapter 8)”, “Has The Internet Become Indispensable? Empirical Findings and Model Development”, “Clean Slate Design for the Internet”, “The Future of the Internet II”, “A Smarter Web”. All had a research or expressed views on what the future of the internet will be.
The internet has sure expanded but will go any further? Networking, will be become low-cost because of its wide availability to people around the world it will expand in the global way that people would be able to accesses any and everything. In the article “The future of the internet II”, the research revealed from respondent that “humans will remain in charge of technology between now and 2020, even though some fear that technological progress will eventually create machines and processes that move beyond human control and a widespread expectation that people will wittingly or unwittingly disclose more about themselves, gaining some benefits in the process even as they lose some privacy” a phenomenon that is dreaded by people all over the world. “A Smarter Web” talked about the new technologies that will make online search more intelligent and may even lead to a "Web 3.0." which is said to range from widespread mobile broadband access to a Web full of on-demand software services, it might probably be unrealistic but will almost certainly make the Web easier to use.
And for the internet becoming indispensable, since is the period of “Internet revolution”, the
Internets has surely become indispensable to many people in their daily lives and have phased out the old non-technological way of doing things, people I think would not function without it.

The New Market
Economics & Work
The readings I did for this session “The New Commerce: E-Business: Shneiderman (Chapter 7)”, “The Era of Sentient Things (Rheingold, Chapter 4)”, “The Evolution of Reputation (Rheingold, Chapter 5)”, “The Economies of Online Cooperation: Gifts and Public Goods in Cyberspace”, “Where Home is the Office: The New Form of Flexible Work”, and “It’s a Flat World, After All”. All talked about the different issues that are concerned with how the internet has helped foster an increase in the economy.
The internet has sure raised different controversial issues regarding its use and expansion, Its different use has expanded to a point were one ask “Is there still more coming?”, and sure enough there is more, from mere inter-personal interaction, the internet has now become a world on its own where everything happens. More and more people are now avoiding traffic and bringing there work home, cyber-space now provides a medium where you can work from home and still get as productive as being in the office. A very important and sophisticated feature of the internet, stock and bond are now been traded through the internet. A full stay at home Mommy can still stay at home while doing business through EBay and other trade sites.
The internet has exposed the world to what is going on where and how. People around the world can effectively listen and watch the “Superpowers” grow and gracefully imitate them in a way that is beneficial to their economical growth and while back home the citizen relax and do less, these underdeveloped countries take advantage of what the internet has to offer, its jobs, food and economical growth. The impact the internet has brought is enormous, and will continue to grow. This online transformation has afforded telework in areas that were never before anticipated.

Government & Politics
The internet and politics nowadays are inseperable; politicians often look for different ways of putting themselves out there, they evolved from television and radio stations to cyber-space. They have websites, integrated themselves into social network sites and now send text messages to any subscriber’s phone on their individual developments.
One of the readings I did for this session “Real-Time Politics: The Internet and the Political Process” talks about “development of social networks and ways that technology is now used to bind people together into a polity”, It went into detail different proposals on how people think the internet will be beneficial to politics. The different proposals all seem attractive in that they create ways for diversity and personal freedom but neglected the implication of what the internet is naturally perceived as.
The internet which is used by people for leisure purposes is now home to democracy and a nation’s future development. The internet represents a fast paced, strong, powerful and concise world so advertisement there is can reach out to thousand of people who go online for anything and with the help of pop-ups, you are bound to notices any and everything. That is the good of it, the bad comes from people’s inadequacies, will they be more inclined to listen to politician’s debates online and give/receive quick and easy feedback or would they want a televised debated where each individual’s opinion is clearly stated. The internet is a powerful and dangerous tool for anybody, those voting and those that are voted for, we need to carefully make our choice for not how interesting and fascinating E-government is, but for how well the government will please the people.

Medicine on Cyber-space
Health and Welfare
The world today as certainly changed because of the ways thing is now being used differently. They are possible ways you could download music from the internet without actually buying the CD, there is cyber-schooling and different ways of people meeting online. Recent development is the “generation Rx.com” with people actually turning to the internet for health related issues.
The readings I did for this session on Health and Welfare all expressed views on the different ways people turn to the internet for medical help “The New Medicine: E-Healthcare (Shneiderman, Chapter 8), “Online Health Search 2006”, “Generation Rx.com: How Young People Use the Internet for Health Information”, “Using the Internet to Empower Patients and to Develop Partnerships with Clinicians”, “War and Peace, East and West – Online: A Comparison of How Different World Religions Use the Internet”. Each presented moderated analysis of the different issues that are rising on how people have taken to believe the internet information and not researching the source.
The search engine are doing their best to give the information we need by using tags to recognize what your need is. The search result does not actually verify the source of its content; they just pull out result that contains your given word. Many internet users are often glad they got a quick and cheap result to what they want, whereas the credibility of these different sources is greatly questioned. The traditional physician and patient relationships will be conferred the internet by e-mails and correspondents, this will surely create a less crowed hospital environment in which the patient can go online send an e-mail regarding what kind of medical issue they have and the physician can then decide if it is bad enough for hospital visit, while talking care of the most complicated medical issues. E- Health will then only be good for this different instance when a reliable and credible source is involved and not based on search engine database. Religion can definitely not be used predominantly online to reflect its purpose, though it is used extensively to promote world peace, its use for religion purposes is questionable.

Web Education
Education
Online and electronic learning has surely evolved through the years. Since the introduction of the computer in the early 1900’s, its use has been spontaneously changed. It has brought about any conveniences to those that earlier could not afford it. With the development of the computer itself, came e-mailing, text messaging, web browsing online clasess and other forms of computer mediated interactions.
The readings I did for this session on cyber- education all expressed views on the different evolution of online learning. “The New Education: E-Learning: Shneiderman (Chapter 6)”, Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants, Growing Up Digital, Virtual Transformation: Web-Based Technology and Pedagogical Change, Boomers, Gen-Xers and Millenials: Understanding the New Students, Are You Ready for Mobile Learning?. They all reinforced the different sides to mobile and electronic learning.
Although the “Digital Immigrants” are having difficulty transitioning to the new mode at which student learn, they sure like its benefits in educational use. Most lecturers which are of the baby-boomers era and less computer savvy uses the different online computer source like Turnitintm, Blackboardtm and different forms of learning aids to get through to their student, and although the change as been difficult and complicated they have certainly have gone with the trend. I take an online class because that way I can work and also take other classes together and not bother about have time to go class also, the learning which is computer aided has proved to be so much convenient and less stressful. The emergence of the e-learning might have brought above different issues because with the more technological way learning has become so is the sophistication of student cheating with these electronic media. So the biases of the computer illiterates have been heighten, but the logic will always be since it was invented by human there will always be a way around it.
