web 3.0

These days, technology has become almost essential in order to get through the day.  In the article "How Web 3.0 Will Work," author Jonathan Strickland mentions that many experts believe that the Web 3.0 browser will act like a personal assistant.  This is something to think about; between iPhones, Blackberry's and everything in between, it is so simple to browse the Internet in order to find exactly what you are looking for.  My mother recently bought an iPhone because she liked the idea of having a cell phone that was sleek, trendy and simple to use.  She claims that it keeps her on top of things that she has to do and/or needs, once again, like a personal assistant.

Web browsers have come such a long way, it's crazy to think society actually put up with the Internet at its "worst" (slow, dial-up modems, etc).  The even crazier thought is that the technology nowadays is only the beginning.  What we have around us and use everyday is only a glimpse of whats ahead.  We discussed the future of technology in class and thought about sci-fi films and the idea of what the future may be like.  I always wonder how far technology will go in these next few years.  I think about simple little changes in technology like HD.  It makes such a difference watching TV on high definition.  What's next?  Are the images ever going to be projected in order to create a 3-D effect?  Will TVs even be necessary? 

Another topic that seems to constantly arise is if the Internet is really a good thing or a bad thing.  To think that people are actually against technology blows my mind.  I believe that the Internet is the greatest thing that happened.  Of course, how you use it will determine if it's good or bad, but that goes for so many things!
