World Wide Web

In the future I predict that the World Wide Web will incorporate more smart technology into cloud environments to enhance user experience and functionality.  An article written by Gregory Ferenstein, introduces Ray Kurzweil, who is the Google's Director of Engineering.  Ray Kurzweil wants to incorporate artificial intelligence into their search engine.  He explains instead of a semantic method search tool, one incorporated with AI will alleviate unnecessary search queries and cater more to the user. 

Cloud computing today is the forefront of computer programs. It basically consolidates computer programs in an online environment saving resources and money.  In the article "Cloud Computing", written by Brian Hayes he refers to one companies slogan that utilizes a cloud suite as, "No Software!"

Networks and Communication

Even with all the advancements in technology, there will always be pitfalls that come with the territory.  The advancements in networking and communication has help us all consolidate our time and provides accessibility to things not so accessible in the past.  Making our lives so accessible does has its ups and downs.

Privacy is a major issue.  We battle it in legislation, in business affairs, and in our personal lives.  It is important to become aware just how far our privacy protects us.  Networking has benefited us in many ways, but in the form of emails and communications it is beginning to infringe human rights.  Advertisement companies and network administrators have developed was to gather personal information for advancement in there revenues.  This should be stopped.  One way this could be resolved is to allow registration to their services without having to input personal information; making it the choice of the consumer (user) to allow access into their personal lives.
