World Wide Web

I think the world wide web will continue growing in a better way. The reason why the world wide web is growing is because many companies are competing with each other and try to come up with something that's better and more advance. For example. the article Yahoo Wants Back in the Search Game talks about Yahoo planning to return to the search market with their own search engine. With all these companies competing and the new services and products they come up, it benefits the users the most. The user can chose the one they prefer.
Clouding computing means programs can access locally and also anywhere with connected computers. it s the ability to run programs or applications on many connected computers at the same time. The cloud refer to software that are sold as service.

Networks and Communication

Asynchronous and synchronous communication can be used in different ways and it allows you to communicate with others more convenience. For example, if you have questions or problem when doing your assignments at home, the best way to communicate with your professor is to Email your professor. You will get responds from your professor quicker than asking the question during next class meeting. Students can also use blogging to communicate and follow up the class discussion.  Synchronous communication allows you to see people even if they're not at the same location. It is very convenience for having a meeting with people that's currently in another place. Synchronous communications also help people build their relationship. For instance, use Skype to communicated with your friend or family when you're on a trip to somewhere; or Skype with someone that you haven't see in a long time.
