Introduction Web 1.0 is the brain child of Tim Berners Lee. It was an amazing standard that has led to the Web as we know it today. Although it was incredibly rough around the edges, it had massive amounts of potential that with the right structure would allow it to become something great. History of the Web Decline of Web 1.0 and Rise of Web 2.0 The web as we know it began as Web 1.0. It was an early design that was seen more as an incredibly rough and un-appealing draft than the innovative intricate design that we see today. As suggested by Cormode and Krishnamurthy “content creators were few in Web 1.0 with the vast majority of users simply acting as consumers of content.” [1] This is incredibly accurate. The truth is, as we previously stated, Web 1.0 was rough around the edges and didn’t exactly welcome visitors with...

...The web is constantly evolving. New and innovative websites are being created every day, pushing the boundaries of HTML in every direction. Html 4 has been around for nearly a decade now, and publishers seeking new techniques to provide enhanced functionality are being held back by the constraints of the language and browsers. To give authors more flexibility and interoperability, and enable more interactive and exciting websites and applications, HTML 5 introduces and enhances a wide range of features including form controls, APIs, multimedia, structure, and semantics. HTML5 is a language for structuring g and presenting content for the World Wide Web, a core technology of the internet. Work on HTML 5, which commenced in 2004, is currently being carried out in a joint effort between the W3C HTML WG and the WHATWG. Many key players are participating in the W3C effort including representatives from the four major browser vendors: Apple, Mozilla, Opera, and Microsoft; and a range of other organizations and individuals with many diverse interests and expertise. (Hoy, M. (2011)) HTML5 is a really good thing for web developers and designers, because it: * Is mostly backwards compatible with what's already there — don’t have to learn completely new languages to use HTML5. The new markup features work in the same way as the old ones, and the new APIs are based on mostly the same JavaScript/DOM that developers have been programming in for years. * Adds powerful new features...

...Web 2.0 Web 2.0 is a term describing changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, video sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies. The term became notable after the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end- users utilize the Web. Basically, the term encapsulates the idea of the proliferation of interconnectivity and social interactions on the Web. Tim O'Reilly regards Web 2.0 as business embracing the web as a platform and using its strengths. The features that encompasses the essence of Web 2.0 are building applications and services around the unique features of the Internet, as opposed to building applications and expecting the Internet to suit as a platform. Web 2.0 websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information. They can build on the interactive facilities of "Web 1.0" to provide "Network as platform" computing, allowing users to run software applications entirely through a browser. While Web 2.0 technologies are difficult to define precisely, the outline of emerging applications has become clear over the past year. We can...

A protocol defines the procedures to follow when transmitting and receiving data. Protocols define the format, timing, sequence and error checking mechanisms that allow telecommunications to occur. (2) Nodes and switches-these are sharing and switching devices that receives signals from sending nodes and direct those signals to the intended destination. Switching devices include bridges, routers and gateways. (3) Transmission links- are the links that actually carry the electronic transmissions and can be either physical or through the air.

...change requires new strategies. When conditions change rapidly, organisations find their former approaches which have led to success in the past, are no longer effective. It can be hard to let go of these approaches if they have been a source of competitive advantage. This leads many managers to assume that successful responses to disruptive change are a matter of luck. But it is possible to craft strategies to best exploit opportunities ahead of the competition. Disruptive technologies/ disruptive innovations Harvard professor Clay Christensen coined the term disruptive technology, which he later renamed disruptive innovation. He identified that it was not the technology itself which was disruptive, but its impact on strategy or business models. Christensen’s theory developed the previous body of literature about discontinuity of organisational change. In summary: 1. A disruptive technology emerges. Initially it cannot match the performance of the existing dominant technology, on the factors which customers traditionally value. 2. The distinctive features of the disruptive technology are valued by a small fringe segment of customers, and increasing numbers of new customers. It is also typically cheaper, simpler, smaller or more convenient. 3. Incumbent players in the market conclude that investment in the disruptive technology is irrational, since their most profitable customers don’t want and can’t envisage using new products based on the new technology. New entrants to the...

...Southern University In the past, most businesses and organizations have kept all of their own computing hardware at their location and doled out a significant amount of money as well as effort in maintenance and development. After around 2010 most companies moved this infrastructure to the cloud which is “The elastic leasing of pooled computer recourses over the internet. The term “cloud” us used because most early diagrams of three-tiered and other internet based systems used a cloud symbol to represent the internet.” (Kroenke, 2013, p. 198). The three-tiered architecture of cloud represents three classes of computers: 1) user tier browsers which request and process web pages; 2) server tier for computers that run web services that bring up web pages requested by browsers; and 3) database tier that runs the DBMS which processes the database. What is striking about the cloud is the amount of recourses being stored in it can be increased or decreased dynamically or programmatically, in a short about of time. The organization is just responsible financially for what they use. This is called “elastic.” Another characteristic is how the cloud is “pooled.” Meaning, that the actual hardware is shared by potentially many different companies and organizations through virtualization. Benefits of cloud include how inexpensive it is while still being superior in its flexibility and adaptability when it comes to growth. Cloud is also fast, up to...

...------------------------------------------------- Essay on “Google Android OS vs. Apple iOS” The competition between Google Android and Apple iOSis one of the most talked after wars in mobile gadget platforms. The Google Android platform is increasingly becoming dominant in the smartphones and tablets market. Nokia, a once leading company in the mobile phone market is slowly entering the smartphone market with a new range of Lumia smartphones powered by Windows 8 mobile as it phases out its range of Symbian powered smartphones. Equally, Motorola Mobility is trying to gain a share of the market by increasing its product portfolio of smartphones in the Droid family. The Android Operating System powers the Droid range of smartphones. Samsung is by far the largest mobile manufacturing company in the world with a full range of Android powered smartphones in the Galaxy family. The recent entry of the Samsung Galaxy SIII heightened the competitive advantage of the Android Software Platform based on the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) software. With HTC,Blackberry OS, and Microsoft Mobile as a distant competitors, the war is clearly not between mobile phone manufacturers but the war is between software manufacturers, and in this case,Apple iOS and Google Android (Katie, 2012). Currently, the competition between Apple iOS and Google Android is so close such that it becomes difficult to tell the superior operating system (Ian, 2011). Undeniably, each mobile platform has its strengths and...
