The Future Of The Web

We have been tasked to establish the communication standards for the new cooperate website, there are many areas we need to take to inconsideration for establishing these standards.

The CEO of Cisco is actually well informed, as is expected. Convergence is exactly where the Internet is going, but it is also divergence. That is, billions of devices will be constantly connected to the Internet and the Internet will be spread across all of these connected devices. So we will have the stored pages on servers, plus the desktops and the billions of smartphones, laptops and tablets holding the current information available on the Internet at any given time, plus billions more tiny embedded chips communicating with myriads of other chips to control our environments and make life easier. What this means is that we will be living in a hypermedia world, and this will affect every corner of every aspect of our lives.

In the following paper I will be discussing the use of open source software as part of a larger project. Example uses of this include incorporating existing publicly available source code within another piece of software. Because the term open source has such broad implications, I will attempt to explain it within the context of this paper. Open source code comes with many different licenses such as GPL, BSD, and MIT. I will describe the most popular licensing options and how they differ. Many companies believe open source software projects have an immense lack of accountability; this is simply untrue. Lastly, open source software has recently received an abundance of attention in the media because

While companies like IBM, Oracle, and Netscape have begun to integrate their business model with open source, many traditional software companies continue to focus on purely proprietary solutions. In the web server space, Microsoft's complete denial of the open source phenomenon is almost amusing. The Apache web server has more than 50% of the web serving market according the Netcraft survey (http://www.netcraft.com/survey,07/01/02).

New technological developments are revitalizing the software industry. The most recent and significant development includes a new set of web-friendly applications that, as of yet, has no official name. These web services can be assembled from standardized building blocks, meaning that any number of applications may be assembled in a variety of ways. Because of this, companies are able to develop enterprise applications to run on a wide range of software and hardware infrastructures and cater to the specific demands of their respective market segments. The companies that will maintain market share in the

Ever since the internet has been formed, it has been a publicly funded and supported utility that has improved the lives of millions, if not billions of people around the world. However, like most public utilities, there are inefficiencies, political conflicts, and barriers that all government projects suffer from. Because the internet is not immune to these drawbacks of being a government utility, it has been privatized. This privatization has allowed the internet it explode in size, availability, and become more affordable to the masses. Now though, as large internet service providers (ISPs) merge together and ISPs make deals with local and state governments that effectively allow them to monopolize their services, an anti-competitive atmosphere has emerged, allowing them to effectively price gouge consumers. Due to these factors, net neutrality is needed to preserve competitiveness between the few ISPs left, allowing consumers to enjoy lower prices, better service, and minimal invasion to privacy.

The World Wide Web Consortium is the main international criteria organization for the World Wide Web. They set the standard for web mark-up languages and web services worldwide. W3C describe web services as a means for two electronic devices to communication via

The components in the internet abide to some rules also called protocol to perform the task. The web or World wide web is one such thing. It is basically a system of interconnected servers that support special formatted documents. These documents are formatted in markup language, HTML (Hypertext markup language), it supports link or references to other documents, as well as audio, video and graphics. Whether you build web pages for personal or for professional purposes, you will find it useful to review and learn a few technologies that make up the internet, and to understand the importance of the medium and the factors that influence how information is published.

Consenting to Web standards can give your Web pages more noteworthy preservability in Web searches. The basic data display in agreeable records makes it simple for web browsers to get to and assess the data in those archives, and they get listed all the more precisely.

The Web is composed of many languages, unspoken languages written in code. These languages take a short time to learn, but years to master; and unlike spoken languages they are constantly evolving at a noticeable rate. Changing to accommodate for the webs changing functionality, as it shifted from being only scholarly to include news, entertainment, socializing, and business. In its 28 year life span the web has evolved from the most basic HTML layouts to the high functioning responsive sites people are familiar with today.

A standard, as formally defined in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary is, something set up and established by authority as a rule for the measure of quantity, weight, extent, value, quality, custom, or general consent as a model for example. Most all industries, professions, and governmental agencies have standards that define and regulate how services are to be provided; products, tools, and resources should function and how organizations as a whole should operate. Standards presuppose collaboration of industry professionals, content specialist and governing agencies, working together to develop regulations, policy and procedures, and best practices to set a minimum baseline of quality and performance. In such collaboration several advantages are derived, such as; assuring the existence of large markets for particular types product and services, encouraging mass production and integration leading to lower costs; improving communication between multiple vendors leading to flexible equipment selection and use. Some disadvantages are that the pace of standard(s) development, because of the focus on a collaborative agreement across and industry, is much slower than the development of technologies within an industry. Due to this, some technologies have made it to market without the having a met a prerequisite standard of quality and performance.

In this white paper I am going to delve deeper into what open source actually is, how some certain companies use it and getting around the legal issues.

Like many open systems, Compared to more expensive operating systems, Linux was an economical alternative for cost-conscious companies that needed to quickly create Web-based applications. When more developers are able to provide input about a system, it becomes easier to fix flaws and bugs that hinder performance; roll out improvements; increase the speed of system evolution; and combine an application 's components in new and exciting ways not intended by the original developer.

The innovators of the World Wide Web initially envisioned it as a global hyperlinked information system. The web evolved to become an open system which is usually extended and

With the Internet, purpose is to provide easier communication and transfer of information among people around the world. Nowadays, government, private, university, and institution mostly have a web page as a primary source of information for people of all ages to access on it.
