Subject: Official Thread: Activity discussion

For this weeks activity you are asked the following:
This final week has given you some ideas about future directions the
web might take.  Pick one, or more, of these predicted changes and
think about how your experience of life online might be different in
five years time.  And what will Google (and its competitors) have to
say about you at that time?

A few years ago while doing a Microsoft Course we were discussing IPv4 and the future of IPv6, how these new IP address would change how the whole world works. The discussion was how buildings will soon be built with each light, soap dispenser, toilet roll holder etc having its own unique IP address. Most likely using a RFID tag or a sensor of some kind on each item within the whole building. The amazing thing that will happen is if with server tools set correctly to alert when certain network traffic occurs a person will know instantly if a light globe has burnt out, no soap or no toilet rolls. The exact location and problem will be known most likely before the incident has occurred.

That’s 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 rolls of toilet paper.

Subject: Official Thread: Reflection on Identity

In this thread, we would like you to reflect upon where your identity fits into the web
– as you have experienced beginning the construction of a web presence how do you think this works as a platform to anchor your identity online?

Will you keep your web presence once
the unit is over? How useful is the
concept of web presence in understanding the emerging social web? Reflect upon these things with your experiences of your on line presence construction in mind…

 

Initially while throwing around ideas about my web presence I was thinking of removing it after the course was done, however, I found a topic I was willing to share with the world so I decided that once all said and done I will keep it going. A few changes like removing the exegesis, but the essence would stay.
