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.
