Prediction of Internet in 2007. Are we ready?

Prediction of Internet in 2007. Are we ready?No, it’s not too early to think about technologies and Innovations that will change the way we do business and our day to day life. 

Bradenton, Fl December 01 2006:  The New WebSome of the jargons are Web 3.0 or defined as Semantic Web, Mash ups, Voice Recognizing search engines, Artificial Intelligence, Videos, Smart Image Tagging, MSN Live search, Mobile Technology with Image recognition with Map, GPS, Product reviews, recommendations, Price info, links, Video links, Ads in mobile, etc.  Are we ready for new web?? 

How is the new web going to change our life and business?Experts predict the way we search, the way we get results from a search will be a totally different experience. Today when we search we get related results but in the Web 3.0 will give results with a combination of all related results within one result. Today it might be confusing, once we see and use it, we will get used to it. 

What is Semantic Web?Semantic Web is almost like how Google’s Algorithm works, but it will be more specific and unique to your query. For example, if you want to go on a Vacation to a cold climate and you have a 10 year old with you, a pet and your budget is $ 3000.00, in Web 3.0 you will get the results with a combination of the entire query you requested in one unique result. But now even thou you get travel related results, the results are not unique.  

TechnologyIn the near future, you will take data, search and everything on the go. Even today, you are able to watch your favorite TV shows, Recorded TV shows in your Laptop or Desktop remotely. You can even change the recording schedules and so. You will be seeing Ads in your cell phone related to your test messages. For example if you text message your friend that you are thinking of going out for dinner, you will see ads that will suggest some of the restaurants near by the location you send the text message from with a Map, reviews, Menus and the prices. 

Are we ready for this??These technologies and more are not going to take much time to implement, but are we prepared for this? If businesses in our areas don’t adapt to these changes, obviously one of your competitor is going to implement and take advantage of these technologies.Suresh Babu is a Project Manager and a Search Analyst of The Fox Internet Marketing Solutions, A Division of the Fox Advertising Agency, Inc.
