Examples of ill effects could be when I search something up on google and then I go to my social media and see relevant ads to things I just looked up on google. It gives me this feeling that I am being stalked and that my information is being leaked to big companies as they can trace down all my interest and what my life is like. Another example could be government knowing exactly which location I’m at. In China, when I use the metro app to take the subway, they track my location down so they could calculate how much I have to pay for transportation. I don’t like it when apps track my location because I feel like they know everything I’m doing especially what places I’ve been to.
The URI is the key to universality. Links help turn the Web’s content into something bigger where everyone around the world can have access to it. The isolation occurs because each piece of information does not have a URI. Connections among data exist only within a site. So the more you enter, the more you become locked in.
Openness is when you can build your Web site or company without anyone’s approval. Open standards also foster one’s imagination. I think Facebook is an example of web openness because mark Zuckerberg created Facebook on the web without anyone’s approval. Close world is when we can’t send a link to someone else to see. You are no longer on the Web. For example, when I use an app instead of a website is when it an example of a closed world. Keeping it open is a way to let more people invent new services
The Web is an application that runs on the Internet. The Internet is a network that puts information into packets and ships them among computers through wireless media. I’m not sure, but I think p5.js could be considered as a web that runs on the internet. Once I copy and paste the link, it could be shared among everyone on the internet. I consider it an open standard. Anyone can put information or change the code.
Some future progress that the author envisions are open data, where putting data on the web and linking them and connecting people everywhere around the world. The author also envisions a future of social machines, where people use social media to share their thoughts and life. There is also the future of web science and free bandwidth. Web science reveals intriguing insights into the Web’s design, operation, and impact on society. Whereas, free, very low bandwidth service could improve education, health, and the economy in these regions.
I think we have already achieved open data and social machines. There’s data everywhere on the web and people are constantly putting new data and changing the data every day. We have also achieved social machines because social media is everywhere on the web. We have restaurant reviews on the web and people can even reserve seats on the web. For web science, I don’t know much about it but I feel like if it’s talking about web design, then it’s definitely becoming bigger since many people are pursuing web design as their career choice. Also, a lot of places are providing free bandwidth but there are still some poor countries that don’t have it. For places that have better bandwidth, students can learn online and gain more knowledge of the outside world. It helps to expand so much knowledge to poorer places, offering them a lot more opportunities.
