  • While the Internet started growing decades earlier, it was the release of the first Mosaic web browser that heralded in a new revolution. Though it reached its peak in less than ten years, the era of Web 1.0 will be long remembered as a turning point in human society. As we are still deep in the midst of all of the change it is easy to overlook just how profound the Internet revolution really is.

      Netscape als Inbegriff von Web 1.0
  • Web 1.0 was the great equalizer. It put everyone on the same playing field. A single individual sitting at a computer in the remotest region of the globe had the ability to publish as easily and as widely as the largest newspapers. While it has taken several years to get to the point where this has become commonplace (for reasons that may be explained in defining Web 2.0), even the earliest days of the web turned the conventions on their head. From private citizens like Matt Drudge to garage startups like Amazon.com, Web 1.0 was the beginning of an era in which the smallest player on the field could have just as much impact as the largest conventional institution.
  • Yet the technology of Web 1.0 was simultaneously both ground-breaking and surprisingly traditional. It was ground-breaking in the sense that it reduced the cost of data distribution to nearly nothing. Yet it was traditional in the sense that it generally followed the model of the printing press. (Albeit with very, very inexpensive machinery.) It allowed anyone to run their own printing press, and it removed the middle man from the distribution process. Web 1.0 was a revolution in which hundreds of millions of consumers found their way to millions of new producers.

  • The legacy of Web 1.0 will be felt for years to come. In fact, the vast majority of traffic on the Internet still follows this paradigm. You have an endless number of sites, large and small, that still present their view of the world in a tightly controlled environment — managed explicitly at all times between the client and the server. For example, if you shop at Expedia or Travelocity you will be able to buy plane tickets, but you will do so reading their content, using their interface, using their shopping cart, all on their web site.

      web applications / sites were isolated solutions and they were isolated information silos and not connected with each other
  • Thus Web 1.0 was the enabling of the small individual to present itself on par with a much larger entity.
  • Before we get to Web 2.0., it is useful to consider what does not characterize Web 2.0. For instance, for all of the love that rich client-side AJAX applications such as Gmail have earned, that alone does not make them Web 2.0. Simply having a Flash or WML interface or a XHTML+CSS homepage is not enough to qualify.

      What qualify web applications to be Web 2.0?
  • There is an intermediary stage in between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Chronologically, of course, nothing is that linear — patterns sometimes arrive early, sometimes far before the world is ready for them. There is a tremendous amount of overlap in each of these phases, and nothing is dying off completely.

      I agree with this view. Web 2.0 concepts existed as ideas earlier.
  • Web 1.5 was an early tremor that signaled that data, all data, wanted to break free of the tightly controlled environments of before. Web 1.5 was the birth of the web service API. Amazon’s Web Services are one of the earliest examples of a large scale web services API with meaningful data. Other major sites followed suit — EBay, Yahoo!, Google, have all exposed web services that enable people to access the underlying data without being cornered into one particular application of that data. But this alone is not Web 2.0, though it is a very important step in that direction.
    • Sebastian Weber
      Sebastian Weber on 05 Jun 08
       
      Exposing Web Service interfaces alone is not Web 2.0, rather Web 1.5
  • Web 2.0 is about giving up control. It is about setting the data free. It is about providing services that work with other people’s data. It is about having a valuable resource and making no presumptions about how or where that resource will be used.
    • Sebastian Weber
      Sebastian Weber on 05 Jun 08
       
      Web 2.0 definition
  • There are two traits that characterize Web 2.0 and differentiate it from Web 1.5. First, Web 2.0 APIs tend to be symmetrical and reciprocal in the sense that not only can data be read out via published interfaces, but can it also be written into those interfaces. This is most apparent when the API is REST-based and supports the full HTTP method set of GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, etc. SOAP APIs can also qualify, and the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) is a necessary component for the discovery of such interfaces. Second, Web 2.0 APIs are open standards with formal semantic meaning. This, more than anything else, differentiates the applications of Web 2.0 from those that came before. For example, the Amazon Web Services APIs are incredibly rich, but in order to use them a client application must be specifically aware of the AWS protocols and formats. Similarly, in order to use Google Maps, a client application must know specifically about, and code specifically to, the Google API.
    • Sebastian Weber
      Sebastian Weber on 05 Jun 08
       
      comparison of Web 1.5 and Web 2.0
  • Where Web 1.5 is about exposing the data, Web 2.0 is about giving that data meaning and thereby setting it free.
  • Web 2.0 is the syndication of data, and syndicating it in such a way that anyone, anywhere can use the results. Web 2.0 does not lock the consumer (who also becomes a producer) into rigid use cases — it intentionally forfeits that control in favor of much greater returns. And Web 2.0 adds semantic meaning to the data so that the interconnected network of consumers and producers can evolve and adapt and thrive as the system grows. And importantly, Web 2.0 is about symmetrical and reciprocal relationships between producers and consumers to the point where the lines become blurred and one becomes the other.
    • Sebastian Weber
      Sebastian Weber on 05 Jun 08
       
      Web 2.0 definition
  • In a sense, Web 3.0 will be more of the same. This incremental stage will be characterized by our ability to stream media in real-time — similar to the way that Web 2.0 lets us syndicate much simpler data today. Convergence will extend to include streaming video and audio over interoperable channels.
    • Sebastian Weber
      Sebastian Weber on 05 Jun 08
       
      Web 3.0: * stream large amounts of multimedia data * easier and more powerful content syndication
  • Your handheld mobile device will call the same media APIs that your flat-panel plasma display does.
    • Sebastian Weber
      Sebastian Weber on 05 Jun 08
       
      Mobile Web / Pervasive Web
  • If Web 2.0 is about the convergence of text and semantic data, Web 3.0 will do the same for all digital media.
    • Sebastian Weber
      Sebastian Weber on 05 Jun 08
       
      Up to Web 2.0 everything about content is text-centric.
  • And to go really out on a limb — what will Web 10.0 be? Most likely, even more along those lines. Imagine a scenario in which any data — all data — can be instantaneously streamed anywhere at anytime. Your very experiences, your senses, perhaps even your thoughts, will be broadcast and archived for anyone to download and view. All human knowledge will be publicly accessible — all music, all art, all media, all things. The distinction between human thought and computer thought will be blurred. We will be part of the network, the network will be part of us. We will be the hive mind, and we collectively will have evolved into something quite unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Auburn School - Kindergarten Ipad Program Sees Positive Results - 0 views

    Kindergarten Ipad Program Sees Positive Results Auburn, Maine, Research Study Initial Results Are In The initial results are in. iPads increased kindergarten literacy scores according to a new study from Auburn, Maine. Auburn School Department made world news last summer when they announced they were providing all of their incoming kindergarten students with Apple iPads. As one component of their district-wide Advantage 2014 program, Auburn educators are promoting the iPad and its apps as a dynamic literacy and math tool for students. The Advantage 2014 program seeks to bolster 3rd grade literacy and math scores by 2015, and the first phase of their research study is making them hopeful of attaining this goal. Auburn kindergarten teacher at Fairview Elementary School, Michelle Green thinks, "Being part of the Advantage 2014 iPad project is very special. It has been an eye opening opportunity to watch children use a tool of technology to learn in a way I never did as a child." Michelle's colleague at Washburn Elementary School, Jess Prue, agrees, "We are not only giving kids a new engaging way to learn, we are also preparing them for technology in the future. It is exciting!" Since Auburn is the nation's first public school system to provide iPads to each of their youngest students, the district is closely examining the program through a yearlong research study. Dr. Mike Muir, Auburn School Department's Multiple Pathways Leader, stated, "Too many innovative programs don't prioritize their own research, and even if they collect observations and stories later, they don't make the effort to do a randomized control trial, like we did. We wanted to make sure we could objectively examine the contribution of the iPads."

    One challenge for teachers with students using devices like iPad and iPod touch is collecting student work. Unfortunately, there is not one consistent way for apps to export what a user creates. Some apps connect to Dropbox, some share through iTunes, some export to a website, some share through an IP address, but most apps email content as an attachment. In order to send images, movies, and documents as an attachment, email must be set up on the device. Logging in through web-based mail won't work because you cannot attach files when using web mail in iOS. Email has to be set up in iOS's Mail app in order for an app that shares through email to actually be able to send.

    What does the phrase 'Pay as you go' mean? Then what is a 'contract phone'? Although the terms may seem confusing but the meaning is very simple. The former phrase refers to phones which help you to keep a track of your spendings and the latter refers to phones which come with monthly bills. When a person buys a phone he normally gets a gift. These gifts may be T-Shirts, pen in the case of pay as you go phones and Laptops and CD's in the case of contract phones. Hence these free gifts with mobile phones are varied in number and types. However, whatever be the gift, the feeling of getting it is always fantastic.

    Apple officials say they know of more than 600 districts that have launched what are called "one-to-one" programs, in which at least one classroom of students is getting iPads for each student to use throughout the school day.Nearly two-thirds of them have begun since July, according to Apple.New programs are being announced on a regular basis, too. As recently as Wednesday, Kentucky's education commissioner and the superintendent of schools in Woodford County, Ky., said that Woodford County High will become the state's first public high school to give each of its 1,250 students an iPad.

  • Technology unconferences and Barcamps have sprung up all over the continent, everywhere from Kenya to Nairobi to Madagascar to Uganda and Senegal.
  • The three biggest success stories of independent social media projects taking off in Africa are Afrigator (a South African aggregator of African blogs and news), Zoopy (a YouTube/Flickr like service also out of South Africa) and Ushahidi (an SMS crisis reporting and mapping engine from Kenya). All three have drawn international attention which resulted in a major investment for Zoopy and Afrigator's acquisition (ReadWriteWeb's coverage). Meanwhile Ushahidi has successfully raised several rounds of funding after winning the Net2 Mashup Compeition prize of $25,000.
  • Afrigator defines itself as "a social media aggregator and directory built especially for African digital citizens who publish and consume content on the web."
  • Zoopy is a South African social media tool created by Jason Elk that allows users to upload videos, podcasts, and pictures and share them on the web.
  • Ushahidi relies heavily upon GoogleMaps, which it uses for mapping reports of incidents. It's built on the Zend framework for PHP and uses a number of different protocols for SMS, GPRS and mapping data.

      Example of mashup and use of geomapping.
  • The applications to follow are definitely the ones that leverage the mobile telephony infrastructure. An overwhelming portion of African users have no convenient access beyond cellular terminals - and that has spawned very innovative solutions based on existing and widely accessible technologies such as SMS. Examples abound such as Mpesa, Celpay, Etranzact and everyone else who is thriving in that formerly almost entirely cash-bound insecure environment. Underdeveloped banking and underdeveloped fixed telecommunications infrastructures are huge opportunities.
