Realities and fantasies of Web 3.0

In November 2006 , John Markoff wrote in the New York Times , using the term Web 3.0 , saying that she would find 
new ways of mining human intelligence : ” From the billions of documents that form the World Wide Web (WWW) and the links that bind them, computer scientists and a growing group of new businesses … ” (see New York Times).
Definitions vary enough from those who think the customization features to the Semantic Web and barrel , from costumes like Conrad Wolfram thinks that Web 3.0 will be the place where ” the computer will generate new information ” , even pessimistic as Andrew Keen ( the Cult of the Amateur) you see in Web 3.0 a return to experts and authorities , calling it ” unrealisable abstraction ” , the idea of connecting and organizing information on the Web
Consider a text actually founding text of James Handler , published in IEEE Computer January 2009 : ” Web 3.0 emerging ” on to explain that after countless laps around the Semantic Web technology has finally found that can help her accomplish – themselves.
The article explains the technology integrated into the emerging Semantic Web are already starting to produce results, from basic applications using RDF description ( in the description of resources, link data from multiple Web sites using a standard language SQL , the SPARQL query that RDF to connections that are ready in XML or OWL ontologies .
Far from being utopian , so the scenario of the Semantic Web is now real and results .

The brain Carr and the Internet
24
Oct
For over a century we are questioning modernity , the Enlightenment and our values , suddenly 23 years now
found a scapegoat : the internet and one application that is Web.
.
Take this fact to say that the Web with all pomp and mystification that many attribute to it , is nothing more than an application in the last layer of the internet, and yes this means the connection between millions of machines and people.
So I take seriously Nicolas Carr a harsh critic of the internet , he participates in the design of cloud computing World Economic Forum , regularly writes about technology and culture in The Guardian , The New York Times , The Wall Street Journal , The Financial Times , Die Zeit , the Times and other newspapers, is member of the Encyclopedia Britannica , but has no entry in Wikipedia, but he is there.
In “The shallows” , he clarify that the issue is before the internet thing he knows, though mental journey that Carr in his own brain , the birth of the alphabet, the Gutenberg press , the anticipation of the computer by Alan Turning and even the event of cartography and the appearance of the watch.
New slide to not see a convergence of “media”, but a merger, it reduces the internet to “a binding force of all technologies precursors “: typewriter and typography ; map and clock , calculator and phone, mail and library ; radio and television .
In new reductionism applies to Taylorism , work method in assembly lines to what he calls mental, ” In the past the man was first. In the future the system must be first. “, is not true, the future is different of the past, it is law of history.
What Taylor envisioned for manual labor , Carr Google applies to mental work , creating a “business of distraction ” in which intelligence is now seen as the excellence and speed in data processing , instead of observation and contemplation .
Now the “society of the spectacle” , “society of the replica” , the text of Walter Benjamin “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction ,” was published in 1955 , the fragmentation of knowledge and superficiality are themes from long then you need to find the time and the real motives of this “superficiality” contemporary .
Device cell with smell

Some years ago the Japanese discovered that it was possible to transmit smell, turned into
sound waves , the device now , called Scentee , the iPhone is connected to vent odors triggered by a command cell as the BBC news .
But this will not be as magical as well , for this the Scentee have a set of special cartridges with special odor , that when combined create other smells , and the promise is that the device will be released in Japan next month .
The computer teacher at City University London Adrian Cheok , who work in the development of the equipment said : ” If you’re in a good mood and wants to send a nice message for your friend , you can send with a perfume” , but added ” it is also possible send a stinky gas , if you had a bad day , “he says .
As explained Cheok device should have other applications in the future , for example , send a message ” but with a smell along .”
The idea is to transmit smells old , in the 1960s , a system called Smell- O-Vision was created to emit odors during the presentation of a film , but this project did not prosper and eventually abandoned
German Institute development Wifi 100 GB

According to Gizmodo , the German Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics ( IAF ) 
and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ( KIT ) have developed the world’s fastest Wifi , which exceeds 100 times the Google Fiber internet offering 1 Gbps ( gigabit 1 per second) but using fiber cables great for this.
According to the Institute it Wifi can transfer data at a rate of 100 GB per second without fiber optics, it is possible to transfer the entire contents of a Blu – ray , for example , in just two seconds , indicating a longer application.
Those responsible for the project also asserted that the speed of data transfer can be increased with the use of special optical and electrical techniques ( fiber optics and special cables ) , or with the use of multiple antennas for transmission and reception .
Gizmodo already has announced a super antenna using graphene .
The way things are going telephone signals in Brazil maybe this would be a solution

Made to look like those of the first browsers maps of Earth, map of new Web browsers was done by two researchers from the Institute of the Internet at the University of Oxford in England .
Mark Graham and Stefano De Stabbata created a new world-map showing the sites and tools more popular in several countries, the sizes of territories vary with the number of users by creating a situation territorial curious .
As expected Google is the largest territory in 62 countries , now that Facebook leads the number of visits is in 50 countries , while the Baidu search engine in China , is popular in just two countries , but the size of China has a vast territory and of course a large number of users .
There are niche markets, such as the newspaper Al – Watan , the most visited site by Palestinians , the e- mail service Mail.ru which is the most visited in Kazakhstan , the VK social network popular in Belarus and search engine Yandex which is the most popular site in Russia .
The news was published by the Daily Mail , and researchers cite as the source Alexa.com .
Berners – Lee supports DRM to html5
07
Oct
One of the strengths of Web formats is also becoming a standard for textual formats , the html5 , 
however to be a free format could be difficult to control the DRM ( Rights of copies ), but Tim Berners – Lee said that this can be controlled .
The news came out in Zdnet thus proposed extensions to encrypted media ( EME , Encrypted Media Extensions ) will be placed in the next HTML extensions due to criticism from various groups and activists on digital rights .
Earlier this year , 27 organizations , including the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Free Software Foundation , considered the proposed specification above as “disastrous ” by claiming they would change HTML to encourage the use of DRM .
According to the CEO of the group : ” We do not walk to standardize DRM systems owners , but on the other hand we do not want it to be deleted from the Web platform .”
EME have a hook for audio , video and other content within the HTML , providing support for digital rights management within the HTML which would prevent unauthorized copies , for example, movie studios and musicians , and could even automatically remove Web content
The EME specification describes an application programming interface ( API ) that interact with a DRM-protected file as the media used , and a first version of an editor was published by the working group to draft a HTML editor , but not yet approved by the W3C consortium .
To facilitate the group is : ” a commitment to a set of open APIs that provide a standard framework to bring this content via plug -in , but does not wish to standardize the plug -in ” , so that the structure remains open to developers .
The idea is good because it gives the option to open a Web preserve the copyright, in what is most basic to the web is the new standard html5 .
