The new internet : WEB 2.0 and Cloud Computing…

The worlds first web site appeared in 1991 and the development of the first GUI web browser Mosaic in 1993 created the explosion of internet usage…

Next, came Web 2.0 in which the companies offer the site or platform and users populate it with content… Web sites like youtube, flickr, facebook, myspace, twitter and blogger are all examples of Web 2.0 … It is the second version of the internet ..

Now companies offer cloud computing…Cloud computing is internet based computing..Users with little technical computing knowledge can access and create documents or even software with ease using a standard web browser…One example is Google’s cloud at http://docs.google.com and http://code.google.com … Microsoft has started their clouds at http://skydrive.com

The internet has really changed…As we prepare to celebrate the birth of the first world’s first web site ( http://info.cern.ch ) a revolution is brewing … More and more people are accessing the internet using hand held devices like mobile phones…

This really is the new internet…

cheers…MARK ONE!!!
