A world around the Internet is shaping

Only after a short period of extremely strong development, the Internet has become a very important platform for the IT and communication industry in particular and the life of all of us in general.

Not only that, recent trends show that in the near future, the Internet will gradually erase physical and geographical limits and be ready to serve people anywhere.

Connect anytime, anywhere

With the growing convergence of broadband access technologies, especially modern wireless and mobile technologies such as 3G, Wi-Fi, WiMax ., the ability to access the Internet increasingly is expanded to more objects, in more geographical areas. Intel predicts WiMax will be the preeminent means of bringing the Internet to the most remote locations in developing countries, thanks to its wide-area wireless coverage, without the need to pull cables. In urban areas, the options for Internet access are increasing, from dial-up, ADSL, cable, satellite . to Wi-Fi hotspots, WiMax, GSM mobile networks, GPRS, CDMA, EDGE .

Motorola is one of those corporations that are trying to promote a seamless connection between the above technologies. "Seamless mobility" is one of the main contents of the Moto4You program organized by Motorola in Hanoi on October 18 and 19. According to David Knapp Jr. - General Director of Motorola Vietnam telecommunications company, this capability is achieved by an Internet-based infrastructure (IP), which helps people stay connected continuously and without limitation even during the transition. across multiple connection networks and different types of devices.

Motorola has demonstrated an integrated technology that enables the conversion of calls (voice) and multimedia content (data) from phones or home computers to mobile phones and car monitors. while on the go, to the office phone or computer, the content is uninterrupted. Meanwhile, the user is almost "wrapped up" in a network of information handled by smart devices, automatically switching the connection method most appropriately depending on any location of owner.

Will the software run completely over the network?

As the connectivity is enhanced and expanded, gradually breaking geographical restrictions, the Internet gets closer to becoming a giant and super powerful machine, allowing everyone from anywhere to have can take advantage of that power. In the words of Scott McNealy - CEO of Sun Microsystems, "the network is the computer" (the network is the computer).

This inevitable development opens a whole new era for the software industry, because all we directly use and exploit over the Internet will be through software that runs over the network and not the form of installation. on each personal computer (PC) as most software we are using today.

Recently, Bill Gates - the founder of Microsoft, has confirmed the role of software in a world he predicts is full of information flow through the Internet. According to him, these information flows in the future will replace all physical media such as movies, CDs, DVDs . People will no longer save data and applications on these media or on PC, that will access them from the network whenever needed.

Although Bill Gates did not speak out, many experts said that the trend will bring many difficult challenges for software giants such as Microsoft, which have been enriched for many years thanks to the system of PC-based software. . At the same time, this is also a great opportunity for a new generation of software businesses, typically Google.

A series of seemingly separate applications and services that Google has recently launched, identified as essentially pieces of an overall picture of the "push" for the entire IT industry. from PCs to the Internet. At that time, Google will become a platform computer network, providing a variety of rich and diverse applications for anyone with an Internet connection.

In the immediate future, according to Gartner forecast, by the end of 2006 there will be at least two firms (many of which are likely to have Google) to provide office applications over the Internet, competing directly with Microsoft's Office suite. That is just the beginning, who can predict the world of software through the Internet will lead us to where and create great changes?
