“The Web is a relatively primitive hypertext system, but it has certainly fulfilled its goal of being a pool of human knowledge – in fact, it has overflowed this original goal to become a vast sea of human knowledge” (pg. 1). This statement is obvious, we use the web every day of ourselves; well most people for that matter. There are so many uses and functions in which we gain new insight all the time. We can use it to find directions, reviews, online newspapers and journals, and much more. “W3 is the idea of boundless information world in which all items have a reference by which they can be retrieved” (pg. 3). This sounds like it would be awesome; we always do broad searches in order to find our goals. If everything was referenced according in some way, this would help everyone out so much. People wouldn’t have to search multiple places or stress over not being able to find information about something if it was all organized and easy to reference.
The Web definitely has fulfilled the goal of being a pool of human knowledge because it is the extension of the human brain. It offers so much that people who consider themselves intelligent, can learn from. The Web has become so popular everyday, that I see it as an essential tool to get through my day. Is that sad or is that normal and ok? Anyways, W3 has been so reinvented that it kind of reminds me of the new iPhone application called Siri. You can basically ask Siri anything, and she will give you the proper response. It is so cool to see how far our Internet use and technology use has developed to now where Siri can tell you anything you want to know. I see Siri developing to be even more effective, and will spread to not only your phone, but your computer, iPad, and even television. Interesting article as always!
