The fastest growing entity today is information. Information is expanding ten times faster than the growth of any other manufactured or natural product on this planet. According to a calculation Hal Varian, an economist at Google, and I made, world-wide information has been increasing at the rate of 66% per year for many decades. Compare that explosion to the rate of increase in even the most prolific manufactured stuff – like concrete, or paper -- which averages only 7% annually over decades.

  What Mr. Kelly should say is that the amount of information which is measured is growing quickly. It is not possible to know all of the information available, however it is still important that the amount which we successfully record, store, and access is increasing.

  Surely the number of web pages is increasing, but how well does the number of web pages measure information? Perhaps actual network bandwidth usage, or total filesizes, would be a better measure?

The number of scientific articles published each year has been increasing in a steady rise for more than 50 years. Over the last 150 years the number of patent applications has increased. By this rough metric, knowledge is growing exponentially.

We see the expansion of information everywhere. Less visible, harder to track, but exploding the same is the expanision of knowledge. The number of scientific articles published each year has been increasing in a steady rise for more than 50 years. Over the last 150 years the number of patent applications has increased. By this rough metric, knowledge is growing exponentially.

  Journal articles may represent an accurate measure of research progress, but both the publishing process and the patent system have many influences besides sheer volume of content.

Yet the paradox of science is that every answer breeds at least two new questions. More answers, more questions. Telescopes and microscopes expanded not only what we knew, but what we didn’t know. They allowed us to spy into our ignorance. New and better tools permit us new and better questions. All our knowledge about subatomic particles derived from the new questions generated after we invented an atom smasher.
- Mike Chelen on 03 Oct 08
  
  This is accurate, just as each question is answered, new questions appear. Here is not the downfall of the pursuit of knowledge, but its glory.

I'd like to point out some of the eco-friendly 'do-gooders' in the IT sector: information technology and computer hardware companies across the country that are helping to alleviate our global climate crisis. Some of these tech companies are building cutting edge green data centers, constructing next-generation energy smart grids and implementing hyper-efficient recycling programs.

The internet and it's unique ability to rapidly share information across the planet has created a sort of 'hot-bed' for the evolution of language. New phrases, words, acronyms and slangs have been given the ability to virally evolve and disseminate to new populations within a matter of days. Definitions are born, morph, and die based on the evolving collective consciousness of humanity.

Zoho App Selection Explodes With Platform - But Are These Apps for Real? - ReadWriteWeb - 0 views

app free google host review zoho

shared by Mike Chelen on 30 Sep 08 - Cached

In its announcement Zoho says that more than 100,000 apps have been created with its Zoho Creator database program, but it appears that only about 300 of those are included in the marketplace at launch.
- Mike Chelen on 30 Sep 08
  
  The reason so many apps have been created is that the platform has been used for some time to host custom user programs. Any user of of Creator might have made their own program and it is not unusual that only 300 of those would be released publicly.

Google Apps

  Google App Engine is closer to what Zoho Creator accomplishes, because they are both designed to allow custom programs to run, and use database-like storage system, in a hosted environment.

  This is one problem with Google Apps, because when there are new features in Google Gmail, Docs, etc., one would expect them to be integrated in Google Apps before too long.

It's hard to know how to find the best apps
- Mike Chelen on 30 Sep 08
  
  Helping users find and share information about the best applications is the most important goal for Zoho now, besides keeping their servers running. The user community will address this as well, so Zoho should look for ways to facilitate that.
