The Emerging Global Computer Analysed

May 27, 2004 -- Reserach and Markets announces the addition of this new report entitled "Internet Applications: The Emerging Global Computer" to its offerings.

This report examines the current state of Internet applications, organizes key issues and puts them in context, and succinctly explains how the technologies work.

As a global, distributed interface, the Web is enabling and inspiring better graphics and interface tools, more efficient email, methods of combating viruses, worms and parasitic computing, ways to authenticate people and data, and advanced methods of finding relevant information from vast digital resources.

Key research efforts are aimed at finding better ways to index the Web, enabling users to search the Internet and other repositories of information like databases at once, and finding better ways to visualize the vast collections of data that modern technology makes possible.

It is clear that the Internet is boosting communications abilities, fostering new forms of commerce, enabling new types of research, and increasing political mobilization. It is less clear how conflicts among security, privacy, e-commerce and freedom of expression will ultimately play out.
