  • The personal web refers to both a collection of technologies and a way of thinking about online content.

      The internet influences the way of thinking of many people.
  • like personalized start pages, RSS aggregation, and customizable widgets, the personal web is a term coined to represent a collection of technologies that confer the ability to reorganize, configure and manage online content rather than just viewing it;
  • Simple tools to create customized, personal web-based environments to support social and academic activities are easily available today, but their use in schools is severely hampered by access and filtering policies.

  • The challenges that relate to this set of technologies are primarily in the policy arena, and that is why it has been placed on the far horizon.
  • In fact, the underlying technology that supports the web has all but vanished for most users; all that is necessary is to know which tools to use, and any task
  • Policy decisions designed to protect students from encountering potentially harmful content also limit access to valuable educational content.
  • there is little opportunity for students to curate or maintain evolving collections of online material.
  • As more teachers demonstrate the value of online collaborative environments and communication tools, and as more students create blogs, develop photo and video journals, and participate in social networks, policy may gradually change.
  • The tools of the personal web are ideal for research and learning.
  • Rich, personal resource collections can be set up using tags and web feeds
  • (Indeed, it is a key strategy used in producing this report!)
  • let authors embed media into their blogs with a single click.

      The purpose of these 'smart objects' is to bridge the gap between the physical and the digital. This is achieved by giving digital capabilities to physical objects such as barcodes that can make computers carry out tasks, digital interactive blocks, and interactive USB's that share information from social networkng sites upon contact.

      P ersonally, it seems to me like these object are depriving the internet and the digital world of its most valued characteristics: the fact that it is not physical,and so cannot be lost, and also the organization that it allows. Giving everyday objects digital capabilities that would interact with the digital world is simply an impractical fancy.

      These are objects that can retreive information independent of human presence and so maximize the range of information that can be acquired.

      These technologies will never be as widespread as the digital world itself simply because making the physical digital requires much more resources than a large part of the digital community can contribute.
