The Impossible Accessible

Over the past year,s internet changed most of us. I can say that I use the internet everyday, for probably more time then I should. After watching Jimmy Wales, Kevin Kelly, Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the very unique wiki, and Nicolas Negroponte, I leaned many things. 

As we all knows, internet has already changed many times, even though it is only 5000 days old. It went from the web 1.0 to the web 2.0, which can be compared to open sources (which is also a pretty amazing concept).  The speakers brought to the table many different aspects. As Kevin Kelly said, there is 100 billion clicks per day, and 1 million IM messages per SECOND!  

The detailed explanation of wikipedia made by its very own creator Jimmy Wales, let me in a state of shock. Jimmy spoke about one of the most important aspect of internet/ wikipedia. It is not only an access to all human knowledge, but it is also free!  Wikipedia is more then a website. It’s a society who cooperate together as volunteers.

This idea was not even something we could have thought about in a not very far past.

But as Kevin Kelly said, ‘‘Internet is believing in the impossible’’

The internet has become a black whole. Sucking all information ever thought of. It has become a tool with no interuption since 1976.

Sow what will it do in the future? The answer? so many answers. First of all, it will continue to educate. Since internet is a sources of information,  we can obtein knowledge from it, which is what Nicolas Negroponte’s did, with ‘One Laptop per Child’  project. This permitted many to be able to gain more knowledge, more power.

I mean, the internet has changed education so much. Students can now follow and pass classes with a simple access to internet.  We can achieve the goals of many teachers, teaching paperless.

Wikipedia is not the only free access revolutionary thing internet did. With the ue os skype, we can speak and see at the same time someone on the other side of the earth for free!

I think that the internet and the future technologies will be able to help the ‘heath’ organizations. Perhaps they will be able to have files on the internet where the hospitals will use digital files and not written papers.  The internet is only 5000 days, so I am waiting for many more changes for the near future, but what will Man be able to do this time with this wonderful tool? A 3D skype?  Have online therapy? A human robot?  Online weddings? Cellphones implanted into our ears? Impossible will you say?

Well what can I say, ‘Internet is the impossible’.
