Popular technology trends in 2009

Many emerging technology trends are expected to dominate the entire development of the technology world in the coming year, blowing new winds to help the technology development more robust, the creation of unique products and services. original, better meet market demand.

These technology trends include cloud computing ( cloud computing ), open mobile platforms (open mobile platforms) and semantic search.

Next generation web

In 2008, many new versions of the web browser came out, such as Mozilla's Firefox, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Opera and Apple's Safari. Google's brand-new browser is Google Chrome, initially gaining considerable success.

Will cloud computing become mainstream technology in 2009? These new versions replace older browser versions with more advanced features, many of which are radical changes. An example is the ability to work offline in Firefox 3.0 and Google Gears.

This change makes browsers play a more important role, taking a big step toward everything that can be put on the web, as specifically as the operating system.

New applications will have many ways to operate as when operating desktop applications, users can work offline, use the free interface from standard browser buttons and agreement interfaces, copper integration with desktop applications.

Along with new possibilities are many challenges. Security for browsers and web applications will become more important because there will be a large amount of important data and functions to be executed through the browser. Businesses will face problems such as leakage of sensitive data once all operations on applications and websites are via the Internet. However, these challenges are small compared to the huge potential.

Low cost, high efficiency and simple development. There is no need to have a lot of money to be able to develop this new generation web product, a great advantage in a crisis economy.

Hopefully the next generation of web applications will be different from Web 2.0 applications such as Web 2.0 which are different from classic web from the 1990s.

Open mobile platforms

Which problem is the biggest barrier to the development of mobile smart phone generations? It is easy to see that good applications can run on this device but are not compatible on other devices.

For years, mobile application developers have developed a popular product that they have to spend a lot of time and resources to develop for many platforms and devices (this translator has participated in development). Mobile application for Fone2Fone on two different mobile platforms: Brew and Symbian). In addition, these applications want to reach users through distributors with their own complexities and costs. To overcome these limitations in the mobile market, many well-known technology companies have their own solutions.

The advent of the iPhone and the Apple App Store app store helps users choose to search for applications they like for their iPhone mobile phones. According to reviews, the App Store will succeed because it provides a large number of applications for iPhone users, enough to make users of other phones 'jealous'.

The future also has Google Android devices and Google's Android Market service. Like Apple App Store, Android Market gives users a simple way to find applications for their devices, Android devices of any vendor.

If these application repositories are released, it will help mobile operating system providers and other vendors have an open application market for their devices.

Cloud computing ( cloud computing )

Currently, cloud computing technology receives great attention from the business community. In many exhibitions, cloud computing has been present in a large number of products.

Many companies at the show were very confident with the cloud computing application for their entire IT platform and computing resources. Building a start-up cloud is not capital intensive.

Instead of building their own IT systems, they use platforms like Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) and Salesforce.com's Force.com to run and distribute products to customers. These platforms will grow more popular, suppliers easily add new capabilities.

Building a web application that shows and distributes resources to customers using cloud computing platform will become attractive (simple, cost-effective) not only in the beginning but also transparent. business development process. However, businesses are still afraid because of the confidentiality of these applications (due to Internet operations).

Semantic search

Semantic search is a new, more accurate way of analyzing data and content within a web page. If you type the keyword 'object-oriented programming' into Google, Google's search engine only shows you documents containing the term "object-oriented programming", semantic search can analyze the That is to filter out for you only real websites or documents about 'object-oriented programming.' It can be imagined looking for such semantics. Now search engines have not integrated semantic search technologies.

In recent months, many activities in the semantic search field have been promoted. Many new companies like Hakia and old like Ask.com in the search field have introduced their semantic technologies.

Through improved marking (tagging), sorting, categorizing and query analysis, semantic search technology has created the ability to provide better search engines. It complements the deficiencies in Google's search technology. Searching for semantics will help companies find another strength in competing with the Google search giant or at least provide other options for users.

In the future, semantic search will develop naturally due to the urgency of demand from users.

Of course, other technology trends will emerge in 2009, some important technologies will begin to regress. But believe that next year, these technology trends will directly affect business, customers and the Internet.
