Web Innovations Online

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 only problem is that businesses may not like the idea of a smart web for it would further erode the defined lines between a business network and a social web combining all the aspects of business into one big collection of knowledge that is accessible to all. The internet has truly changed the way we live and go about our business but I think this upgrade to the internet would take a lot of time, the costs are staggering for it would surely run in the billions of dollars for all the major links of the internet would have to be replaced with faster technology that allows current applications to run better and faster of course. Time will tell if the new and improved version of the Internet would become reality, with the global economy slowing, people have that at the back of their minds focusing more on where they would be getting their next meal.

The idea of upgrading the internet may seem farfetched but the advent of the social web has become partially successful once all the current security problems have been addressed. The idea of having a WEB 3.0 might seem far off, but remember the fact that there are already studies being done to upgrade the internet. We’re not talking about the programs but the system itself, all the hardware and antiquated stuff that have accumulated into the thing we all call the internet. Maybe that would bring the new and improved WEB 3.0 into more of a fact for re-designing hardware and the software that is designed to work on it may be the key to solving the security nightmare we’re currently in.
