Future of Web Sites

During a boring day my imagination went on to see what could be the future of websites. Here are few which interested me.

Facebook in 2015

 A Digital clone of my friend, so I can interact with him at my wish. It will be wonderful to hear his status update from his voice on his own digital clone. Instead of comments I will see the entire commentator’s avatars and interact using my own voice responses and expressions. If Facebook where to be used in the coming years then Facebook in 2015 will be cooler than now

Twitter might be using the next to be said internet technology to communicate with the machines called the semantic web. From my Toaster to Car will be following tweeting, and replying to me. Imagine me tweeting “ Feeling Tired “ and my car replying “waiting to take you home” and  takes me home automatically, Air-conditioning cooling my room before I arrive and my Asimov getting me lemonades and replying  back. Twitter in 2020 would be capable of these



Stumbleupon in 2017

 Stumbleupon, Reddit and few more will be providing me more related articles and stuff. They could understand the context of article and my interest and bring up what I will be interested to read and which I will love the most. Stumbleupon in 2017 could be all this

 

I don’t have to type in another search in Google, I might just ask my digital assistant to get me results for my search through my voice commands. My assistant will then read out the exact result I wanted. Imagine it having AI where it will function as a human in the space of internet. Google could adopt these very soon as they have their own voice recognition search option enabled now. Google in 2015 will have these kinds of search features.

You Tube in 2020

YouTube, will be showing me holographic videos where it would be kind of similar to todays Augmented Reality but through laser projections or Holodecks I would be seeing them in real time. YouTube in 2020 might actually be providing videos like this to me.

Internet will be more sensible and easy to access, it will be a boon to the human kind to learn and love more than we do now.

Revolutions of Digital Age

In the past few months the world has witnessed revolutions that changed the governments, fired presidents, extradited people, started battles and many more. Peoples need for change caused these revolutions to happen.  The expression for need to change caught like wildfire through the internet

26 years old, Asmaa Mahfouz sparked the revolution using the Digital mediums. Two weeks before the 25^th January protest at Tahrir Square, she posted a video on a video blogging site about her protest for her rights. Words spread across the Social Media which went viral. The protest gathered a large numbers of supporters through the Digital Media. The world witnessed the power of social media.

The revolution then spread across Tunisia, then to Libya the neighbouring country of Egypt followed by Bahrain and more. The Digital age made these possible by spreading the word for change. The internet which has no national boundaries took the message to various other countries.

The revolution spread through the updates, likes, comments, tweets, retweets, views, shares and replies. Social Networking Site acted as a platform where every person was free to express and being heard. The awareness of the problem was educated to the others to join the movement. Mobile acts as reporting tool through which the current happenings of the revolution are updated and shared from the ground zero. Riots are covered, supports are conveyed and messages are spread

A current occurrence in a Democratic country like India has united to fight against corruption through the Web.  A 72 year old veteran named Anna Hazare started a hunger strike to fight corruption which is gaining moment through the social media sites. Various people around the globe are now aware of the fight against corruption and are joining him through the web from their respective locations.

As a word of caution, people like to support any kind of cause without even thinking or knowing what actually it is. A study conducted recently proved this phenomenon of supporting cluelessly. A Cause for reducing the use of Di-Hydrogen Mono-Oxide which explained various problems by the usage of it like excessive sweating and tiredness was supported by a large number of people. The chemical mentioned above is actually Water. People must be aware of what their supporting.

This Digital Age has changed the revolution and the revolutionaries. The Gettysburg Address by the Abraham Lincoln will suit to the todays Digital Age.
