Notas del editor

  1. The Web is no longer a collection of static pages of HTML that describe something in the world. Increasingly, the Web is the world—everything and everyone in the world casts an “information shadow,”
  2. The smart phone revolution has moved the Web and our work from our desks and offices to our pockets. I can do pretty much everything I need to on my smart phone.Access emailSend messagesWork on documentsGive presentationsAre students at our institutions have told us their device of choice is their phone. They want everything through their phone.
  3. The Apps for smart phone are plentiful and very sophisticated.Google Mobile App for the iPhone - The application detects the movement of the phone to your ear, and automatically goes into speech recognition mode. It uses its microphone to listen to your voice, and decodes what you are saying by referencing not only its speech recognition database and algorithms, but also the correlation to the most frequent search terms in its search database. The phone uses GPS or cell-tower triangulation to detect its location, and uses that information as well. A search for “pizza” returns the result you most likely want: the name, location, and contact information for the three nearest pizza restaurants. All of a sudden, we’re not using search via a keyboard and a stilted search grammar, we’re talking to and with the Web. It’s getting smart enough to understand some things.
  4. The advancement of the Web and all the related technologies will influence the future of how we work. A recent article inTIME mag. The states work will be more flexible, more freelance, more collaboration across space, run by a new generation with new values and that women will increasedly be in control.
  5. In 2009 it is estimated that 28% of the workforce telecommute either full or part time. This is up 12% from 2000 and will only increase a Internet technology makes working as a team even easier and more productive that ever. They way I work now is radically different than when I was hired in the Department of Animal Sciences to be the Extension Horse Specialist in 1985. I really don’t need a physical office space. I can basically work at anytime from any where. Most of what I do is in the Cloud.
  6. The cloud is the term for networked computers that distribute processing power, applications, and large systems among many machines. Applications like Flickr, Google, and YouTube use the cloud as their platform, in much the same way I am using this Mac as the platform to deliver this PowerPoint presentation. Cloud-based applications do not run on a single computer; instead they are spread over a distributed cluster, using storage space and computing resources from many available machines as needed. To the end user, the cloud is invisible; the technology that supports the applications doesn’t matter — the fact that the applications are always available is key. Data storage is cheap in these environments — pennies per gigabyte — so cheap that it is often provided in surprising quantities for free.The cloud does have certain drawbacks. Unlike traditional software packages that can be installed on a local computer, backed up, and are available as long as the operating system supports them, cloud-based applications are services offered by companies and service providers in real time. Entrusting your work and data to the cloud is also a commitment of trust that the service provider will continue to be there, even in face of changing market and other conditions. Important to read the Terms of Use for those providers.
