THE CHANGING INTERNET

• Software-as-a-service (SaaS)• Push, not pull, technologies and

personalization (much more than this…)

• Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Note: not so new to me….Dave

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Software-as-a-Service• Software-as-a-service (SaaS) –

delivery model for software in which you pay for software on a pay-per-use basis instead of buying the software outright• Use any device anywhere to do anything• Pay a small fee and store files on the Web• Access those files later with your “regular”

computer• Makes use of an application service provider

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Software-as-a-Service• Application service provider (ASP) –

supplies software applications (and other services such as maintenance, file storage, etc) over the Internet that would otherwise reside on customers’ computers• Now, mainly limited to business applications• Future, personal ASPs renting software to

you

Software-as-a-Service

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

• Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) – New way developers look to create applications. They look for modules that may be reused either within the company or sold to others. E.g. a Web-based credit card checking program.

Push, Not Pull, Technologies and Personalization

• Be careful about the use of these terms…they are outdated. However:

• We live in a “pull” environment• That is, you visit Web sites and request

information, products, and services• The future is a “push” environment• Push technology – environment in which

businesses come to you with information, services, and product offerings based on your profile

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Push, Not Pull, Technologies and Personalization

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

• Is it really a push or a pull when you talk about Web 2.0?• What is viral computing?• What does it mean to have a “social presence” on the Internet?

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

• Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) – allows you to send voice communications over the Internet and avoid the toll charges that you would normally receive from your long distance carrier• Catching on quickly in the business world• A little slower in the personal world• Is this new? • How does Apple view the world?• Is it just voice or full multimedia?

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

PHYSIOLOGICAL INTERACTION

• Now, you use keyboards, mice, and the like• These are physical interfaces• Physiological interfaces will actually capture

and use your real body characteristics• Voice• Iris scan• Brain waves• Special glasses (eye wear)

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Automatic Speech Recognition

• Automatic speech recognition (ASR) – not only captures spoken words but also distinguishes word groupings to form sentences• Becoming more a reality everyday• Office XP and 2003 have ASR built in• Real systems costs $800-$1500

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

ASR 3 Step Process

1.Feature analysis – captures words and converts them into phonemes (syllables)

2.Pattern classification – matches phonemes to words in an acoustic model database

3.Language processing – makes sense of what you’re saying by choosing the best words

Cave Automatic Virtual Environment

• Cave automatic virtual environment (CAVE) – special 3-D virtual reality room that can display images of people and objects in other CAVEs

• These are holographic devices• Holographic device – creates, captures, and/or

displays images in 3-D form• Interesting, but what is REALLY happening.

• SecondLife• Kaneva• World of Warcraft

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

SecondLife Benefits• Visit friends and family without

getting on an airplane• Customer service – geography and

weather conditions are no longer constraints

• Changes in interpersonal dynamics• Changes in the educational

paradigms

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Biometrics

• Biometrics – the use of physiological characteristics – fingerprint, iris, voice sound, and even breath – to provide identification

• The use of your keyboard typing style can be used as a unique identifier

• Lands End has used biometric algorithms to create a custom-fitting clothing market

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Custom Clothes with Biometrics

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Biometric Security• Best security is 3-step

• What you know (password)• What you have (card of some sort)• Who you are (biometric)

• Today’s systems (ATMs for example) use only the first two

• One reason why identity theft is so high

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Integrating Biometrics with Transaction Processing

• TPS – captures events of a transaction• Biometric processing transactions may

capture information about you, perhaps…• Weight loss• Pregnancy• Use of drugs• Alcohol level• Vitamin deficiencies

Other Biometric Devices

• Biochip – chip that can perform physiological functions when inserted into the human body

• Implant chip – microchip implanted into the human body that stores information about you and can be used for tracking (GPS)• Family of 4 in Florida already have them

• Facial recognition software – provides identification by evaluating facial characteristics

• We’ll discuss these in a later chapter!

THE WIRELESS ARENA

• Provides tremendous mobility• Will dramatically change

everything• The next generation of cell phone

technology • RFID *Key Topic – to be discussed

at length later!!!

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Next Generation Cell Phones

• iPhones and beyond• What do you think these devices

will do for you in the near future?

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Next Generation Cell Phones

• Mobisodes – short one-minute video clips of TV shows designed for viewing on a small cell phone screen• Nonsense – a real problem with

envisioning the future! (Teacher’s comment)

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Next Generation Cell Phones

• There is a downside• Cell phones = next great playground for

hackers and virus attacks• No good anti-virus software for cell

phones right now• A cell phone can track you at

anytime/anyplace. Government agencies know exactly where you are at any moment. Good? Bad?

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

RFID• RFID (radio frequency

identification) – uses a chip in a tag or label to store information, and information is transmitted from, or written to, the tag or label when the chip is exposed to the correct frequency of radio waves• Wal-Mart is always in the business news

about its requirement that all suppliers use RFID on products

McGraw-Hill © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

RFID

• Common RFID is passive• No battery power• Antenna absorbs radio waves and

stores as energy• When enough energy is stored, the

chip is “jolted” to life and information transmissions occur

RFID Future (is now)• Each and every product with have an RFID tag

Uniquely identifies each product• Expiration date• Places traveled

• Check-out in supermarkets is instantaneous• Every baby will have one implanted to prevent

theft• In Spain, young people volunteer to have them

implanted to get into clubs (to prove age)• Today, you can get an RFID implant for your pet• Benefits/Problems?

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

• Is technology necessary?• What about the “have-nots” I.e.,

what is the digital divide• Technology for the betterment of

society (is this so?)• Exchanging privacy for

convenience (do you care?)• Ethics, ethics, ethics
