okay, I just thought of another thing on the way home from school,

all these point-ohs aren't just on the internet, they are everywhere. With lives, cars, houses, everything
1.0 was basically the 90s. Which rocked.
2.0 is the the MySpace era. Which sucks/sucked. Period
3.0 is where everything is slowly morphing into samness, hopefully I can prevent that.

MySpace era? Nobody I know uses MySpace anymore; hasn't for a while... {Unsure} Also, stereotyping the whole world on the basis of a social networking site is pretty naive. I've always hated MySpace, as have most of my friends. That, and we have lives that don't revolve around a website; as I'm sure most people on here will agree with.

Your statement is completely false, and I have no idea where you even came up with it... {Unsure}

Aye, i'm not sure about it either - comparing 1.0 to the 90's simply because "it rocked" is a bit weird, as everyone will have a differing view: some may hate it, whilst some loved it. The 2.0 is partly right as, it is the era in which social networking websites have become more prominent but to base it one just one is fallcacious as it's all subjective {Unsure}

I'd like to quote a portion of one of your posts:
Quote:
just because something says what 3.0 is going to be doesn't mean that's what it will be.
.

So how do you know that it'll "morph into sameness"? {Unsure}

90s = most revolutionary time... like ever really. For computers and lives both.

that's the way life is looking right now, unless I can change it. Everyone wants to be the same as the other, every building is slowly beginning to look like the one next to it. Every car is slowly beginning to feel like the one you drove before.
Somehow it feels safer, but its really a thing that could make one go insane from all the same

I can see where you're coming from, but i find it very hard to say which is best, considering i've only lived in 3 decades (80's, 90's and the...whateverthehellthisdecadeiscalled) and i couldn't say how revolutionary the 70's, the 60's and even further back were as i didn't experience the changes first hand.

Anyway, methinks we're beginning to drift off topic here.

Re: What search engine do you use? (9th Jan 08 at 1:35am UTC)
Xero, I'm sure that earlier decades were much more revolutionary. In 1969, the internet was born. What's more revolutionary in computers than that? Also, computers being invented in the first place; extremely revolutionary, took place long before the 90's. {Wink}

From a viewpoint on changing of lifestyle; that was also earlier decades.

All throughout the 1900's women were fighting for [and winning] more rights, more respect, and more opportunities.

World War II; that was FAR more revolutionary; much of the technology we've had for years would only just be coming out now had it not been for WWII. Fighter jets, increased radar, atomic bombs, women's work rights [again], better computers, etc.

The industrial revolution is self explanatory, so I won't even get into that. {Tongue Out}

The 90's may have been revolutionary, but other points in history were much more revolutionary than that decade. {Wink}

1.0 was basically the 90s. Which rocked.
2.0 is the the MySpace era. Which sucks/sucked. Period

Are u kidding me?? Do u even know what you are talking about?? Design and structure at the start of the Internet in the nineties was ridiculously bad as compared to today. It had nothing to do with the nineties. That statement up there was ridiculously stupid. What does the development of the internet have to do with how people lived and the world was in the nineties??!

MySpace may be a social networking site but is most certainly NOT a very shining example of Web 2.0. There's so much awesome stuff today - MySpace is as shitty as the web 1.0 sites. Did you not see the yahoo snap I showed on the last page?? (what the website looked back in web 1.0 in 2000)

Nothing is going to morph into sameness with Web 3.0. It is about enhanced RIAs and enhanced interactivity - concepts such as a web OS and stuff. Design and organization will only get better.

You don't even know who O'Reilly is - you really have no idea what you're debating about and you're talking total nonsense. After that, if you think that YOU can save the internet with that design you showed us in the last page, then I feel sorry for you. That is a very average design - definitely not even web 2.0, let alone web 3.0 - forcing website to resize the browser window was common in web 1.0 and is a strict no-no for even web 2.0. {Rolleyes}

This is just pointless. Its like trying to explain how the sun works to a 2 year old. {Unsure}

Hah! I have the mind of a three year old!

Soooory I suck at coding. Just because it looks stupid to you doesn't mean it would be sucky in the end. The real idea behind it is an online OS. As in all the files would be accessed through the web. In fact, you wouldn't even need a Hard Drive, because it would all be accessed on the web, or some other accessment. And it would involve some uber fast internet, or whatever the future is called. But back to the main idea.
An online OS, where everything is accessed and avalaible on the .. okay I need to make a beta word for this real quick.. UNI. Universal Network Interface. Works. All your pictures and everything, of course those such files are not public, unless you want them to be or you could have a password. i don't know.
People would buy Unispace, not hard drives. Wouldn't have to go buy them, or install it or anything fancy. Every computer would come with like a gig, cause that space is free nowadays. And you can go find a server you like, and it tells you your UP addy, and all you have to do is type it in on the back of your comp and you can add more and stuff </run on sentence>
Sure, there are gonna be sucky servers, but there's always going to be some technical error everyone will worry about. I'm sure a future Enron is going to make a huge uServer and say everyone has tons of teras but they only have a few. People shut them down, etc. And other companies will get hacked and people will be pissed because they bought a sucky server but that can even happen today (Net Movie Reference)
So therefore. Hah!

Personally, the idea of having an entire OS (personal files included) stored online worries me a lot - my step-dad works for the MOD and there are some files/folders that are highly protected and are more than his job's worth to lose (as anyone may have heard about the data disks being lost recently in the UK) - knowing they are stored on a server where the owner would possibly have the ability to see the info is a worrying concept {Unsure}

I understand that with a HD based OS that is still possible (hackers etc) but if you don't have it there to begin with, it won't get lost {Tongue Out}

The whole idea of everything being online is risky, cause if you hack one part you hack all of it. But by then algorithms will probably be a lot harder to crack and the like, mostly hacking is the people's fault. What's your password.. hmm something easy.. dog? sure no one will guess that. Even my oldest password (daredevil) would be hard to guess cause I was really neutral about him, not my favorite or hated.

I think if I had a virtually unlimited amount of money I could come up with some better stuff. In fact I think I will. Tomorrow, that is what I shall do.
