 Obama's Web Site
Mr. Cole agrees that the Internet plays a pivotal role in providing a more equitable society that encourages participatory development. He argues that due to the younger generation having the ability to effectively communicate through Internet forums, they are more willing to express their political opinions online. The younger generation also has the opportunity to engage in academic discussions with people who are older and have more experience, such as university lecturers, or people who specialize in the area of discussion. Hence, the Internet has clearly demonstrated its use in terms of educating the younger generation for the future. However, the positive benefits that can be gained through the use of the Internet not only extends to young citizens, but has also created an impact for those who are in the workforce and are keen to learn more about their nation’s political system. |

 Vint Cerf London: Vint Cerf, the 'father of the internet', has warned that the world is on the verge of running out of the Web addresses that allow computers to identify and communicate with each other.
Cerf, one of the world's leading computer scientists, has asserted that there's an immediate need for businesses and consumers to switch to the next generation of net addresses.
Every computer and online device is assigned a unique IP (Internet Protocol) address, but according to estimates, the pool of unallocated numbers will soon run dry.
IP addresses are as crucial to websites as street addresses are for businesses but some network engineers predict that we will run out of them in two years.
However, Cerf has said that it's high time that preparations are made now, otherwise some computers might not be able to go online and the connectivity of internet might be damaged. |

 Tim Berners Lee Time for Berners-Lee to launch another revolution. Now, the man who has fought to keep the web open, free and wholly public wants to make it truly accessible. Only 20% of the world’s population is able to use the web at present. The rest cannot read or write English. The problem is even bigger in India, where over 380 million people cannot read or write in any language. It’s the largest concentration of illiterate people anywhere in the world. How can these people ever hope to access the web and benefit from this technology?
It is a knotty issue and it is preoccupying Berners-Lee, currently director of The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which oversees the web’s development. “Has the web been designed by the West for the West?” he asks. Has it been designed just for the executive and the urban teenager with smart phones in their pockets? Not at all. |

 Avoid iPod Repair First, you should obviously use a hard protective case to avoid scratching the screen of your iPod. The hard cases are better because if you drop your iPod while in a hard case in water, your iPod is usually protected in up to three feet. Plus, if you drop your iPod, a hard case help protect your device from sustaining damage to its internal devices, which are necessary for proper function, and external cosmetic damage to your iPod.

 Blogging
If, back in the 80's, I'd have told you that I was checking my email on my mobile, you'd have probably stared at me blankly. Today, it is something that we take for granted.
Radio and television were the the only ways to really express your opinion to large groups of people. Not any more. Now you can talk to million through the new medium of blogging over the internet. What would you like to say? |
