Search engines like Google, Yahoo and the many other search engines out there have to implement measures to attacks aimed at their results during searches. Search Engine Optimization makes searches more precise but with attacks aimed at them they have to deal with overloading of their sites. Fake and dummy sites that look as if they are from legitimate sources and even have all the makings of one are given as results to a search for particular key words. Any unsuspecting person who selects one will get an unpleasant surprise in the form of code that can be anything from a spam generator to a phishing bot which sends information to a central location or address.

The can enter bearing the signature of one version and spread to other systems with different signatures at each instance. The only way to be protected is to have and install protection from the bottom up, where intrusion prevention is installed right after the OS making the inventory it takes as pristine as possible. That way any modifications to the system are seen and noted allowing you the best chances for avoiding intrusion. Everything you do on the internet can be a trigger for malware to get into a system. Entering a site, downloading pirated music or software, using P2P to get your latest tracks, download codec’s that are not installed automatically, etc. and the list is endless. Everything you can do can be a trigger which is kind of paranoid (keep of the net and you don’t get attacked) but the safest approach would be to stay off the net which would be impossible. The only possible, total solution to all these problems would be to re-do the net. It has been proposed and seen by many as crazy, taking the internet down just for a few minutes causes mass paranoia and tempers to flair. Blame the guys who designed and first used it to send files in the old days. Blame just everybody else including you for contributing to the internet.

The experts have spoken and they have delivered a verdict, the internet will be maxed out by 2010 and that’s final. During that time, the internet would be too congested to deliver the best possible internet experience and it doesn’t end there. Industry experts are talking about having to totally re-do the net (including the cabling and support structures) along with all the software that is designed to work with it to allow it to deliver the best possible speeds that technology has to offer. Current technology installed are antiquated some even as old as the net itself and most are in need of total refurbishing. Though most of the hardware is hot-swappable, newer technology is more powerful and consumes less electricity. The only problem is the will power and budget for the proposed changes would cost billions of dollars and commitments from all the countries and governments on the globe.

The physical web is now threatened by the virtual one with the inception of the virtual web page. A virtual web page would have a user immersed into the web page itself walking around as you go through the several pages knocking to open new ones as you go around a virtual town to get hold of information you need. Go up to a virtual bank where you go around and do your banking as if you were there. Visit the local supermarket as you browse to select preferred items to add to your grocery list, receiving it a few hours later. Virtualization is the next step in the social web which would allow all the users to interact with each other without being physically there. So watch out for the next step in the social network where we don’t connect to but enter and partake in.

If you want to spice up a certain conversation, chances are you are familiar with the characters you need to type to make smilies appear at the end of each sentence you type. They are common enhancements that provide additional expression and a lot of people are using them. In this age of technology where communication is no longer hampered by distance and time, it is ironic how most couples still find themselves alienated by each other.
Instant Messaging System (IMs) is hands-down perfect when immediate messaging is necessary as it is built for that purpose, but for a spouse or another member of the family wanting re-assurance of love and support, more is required.
