Ah, Spring is upon us but this year we have extra snow falls in the alpines regions and icy cold windy is served everyday.
My team has just inherited another service which was last managed by another team, along came it is old procedures that were established before the Internet was widely used and convenience of cloud computing. I cannot wait to sink my teeth into it, oops, my hands on it, nope, mind meld it to my liking with smart forms, notes, and filing methods. It sure has a lot of cob webs. For me this is a career progress, as I get to see how people hand over legacy systems and procedures. Very interesting.
The family has finally settled on a phone-internet bundle after much sampling over the last four years. Dial-up Internet is okay but won't do anymore. 3G broadband did not rock with us, as it drops out too frequently than we had hoped for. ADSL1 plans was fine when used by 1 PC but became sluggish when more devices wanted to get online as well. We are on ADSL2 and it is faster, has small drop out intervals less than 40 seconds.
Has the Internet evolved or facing an supposedly up coming revolution? That seems to be the very question everyone is looking into their crystal ball for an answer. Disclaimer: Let me be clear since I do not work in the actual industry of technology I can only speculate at best. Anyways, from what I have seen and read, before year 2000 website content use to be uploaded and maintained by webmaster which is still true to this very day in year 2009. Users did not have much of a say and no offer of comment or email. Information online was guarded and were controlled by a few. Yet IRC has been playing on the side as a sharing content means (eg. MSN, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ) letting people chat, send messages, share links and files. Although email was able to transport larger files than IRC chat session. Around year 2002 we were see growing numbers of forums, DIY websites, blogs, RSS feed going mainstream. By 2005 steady growth of networking sites such as Friendster, Myspace, and Facebook. The general public uploading some contents on sharing content sites Flickr and YouTube with informal kind of information was trickling into cyberspace. By 2008 we were sharing information at rapid speeds and using coined terms "real time" this and that. Now people update their status to websites via their mobile phones to the Internet bypassing IRC, blogs, and email. So information online has evolved from being fed to shared to fetched by devices therefore I say "My phone is my dashboard" is the biggest trend of 2009.
