World Wide Web

I think that the World Wide Web will continue to grow in the coming years. I think that we will see a lot of new search engines ex. Facebook is planning to directly compete with Google's search engine. Also i think that cloud storage is our future. We already use cloud storage in our daily lives, but it is still basic and little popular. I like the idea of Microsoft's new CEO. I hope he gets the second half of the formula and we will see a huge demand for cloud storage.

Networks and Communication

Both Synchronous and Asynchronous ways of communication are used today by most of the world. Without these types of communication we wouldn't be where we are now. Thanks to Skype we now can see our families who are overseas. Thanks to Text Messaging we can share and exchange information in matter of seconds. I really liked the idea they wrote about in the article "Skype in the Classroom, from York to Antarctica". Letting children in classrooms talk to people who might influence them in some way is a great idea. It opens their minds. I would like to see more of this in the coming years. But like everything is this world, synchronous and asynchronous way of communication have their cons. Like mentioned in article" Study: Texting while walking affects your balance". things can get dangerous when you are focused only on your phone. We hear more and more about accidents involving texting especially texting and driving. I am pretty sure that in coming years we won't be seeing more of these accidents because we will come out with new ways of communicating.
