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.

Supplies software applications (and other services such as maintenance, file storage, etc.) over the Internet that would otherwise reside on customer's computers.

- Now, mainly limited to business applications.

- Future, personal ASPs renting software to you.

Environment in which businesses come to you with information, services, and product offerings based on your profile.

We live in a "pull" environment.  The future is push.

This isn't spam or mass e-mail.

Businesses will know so much about you that they can tailor and customize offerings.

Consider a GPS cell phone and a movie rental store that monitors where you are:

- A system will determine if there are any movies you like but haven't seen.

- The system will call you on your cell phone.

A consumer communicates through a business on the Internet and directly provides product specifications to a factory that makes the customized and personalized product to the consumer's specifications and then ships it directly to the consumer.

The business (small f) is only an intermediary between the consumer (capital C) and the factory (capital F).

A form of disintermediation.

Allows you to send voice communication over Internet and avoid the toll charges that you would normally recieve from your long distance carrier.

- Catching on quickly in the business world

- A little slower in the personal world

- Not everyone has high-speed in-home Internet access.

2nd generation of the Web with online collaboration, users as both creators and modifiers of content, dynamic customized information feeds, and much more

- Wikis

- Social networking sites

- Blods

- RSS feeds

- Podcasting

Allows you (as a visitor) to create, edit, change, and often eliminate content.

- Enables crowdsourcing, when businesses provide enabling technologies that allow people (i.e. crowds) - instead of paid employees - to create, modify, and oversee the development of products/services.

Instead of keybaords, mice, and the like (which are physical interfaces), these will actually capture and use your real body characterisics.

- Voice

- Iris scan

Not only captures spoken words but also distinguishes word grouping to form sentences.

- Becoming more a reality everyday

- Commercial systems cost less than $100

1. Feature Analysis

2. Pattern Classification

3. Language Processing

Three-dimensional computer simution in which you actively and physically participate.

Uses 3 unique devices

- Glove

- Headset

- Walker

Best security is 3-step:

1. What you know (password)

2. What you have (card of some sort)

3. Who you are (biometric)

Todays systems (ATMs) use only the first two.

This is one reason why identity theft is so high.

Short one-minute video clips of TV shows designed for viewing on a small cell phone screen.

-Download periodically

- Combine to watch the entire show

- Watch for them, these are coming soon

Cell phones = next great playground for hackers and virus attacks.

No good anti virus software for cell phones right now.

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 among the earliest adopters of this technology.

Common RFID is passive

- No battery power

- Antenna absorbs radio waves and stores as energy.

Discipline that seeks to control matter at the atomic and sub-atomic levels for the purpose of building devices on the same small scale.

Current approach: start big and squeeze, press, slice, and dice to make things small.

Nanotechnology approach: start with the smallest element possible (i.e. atom) and build up.

Works with information represented in more than just 2 states, probably 10 states with each state representing a number from 0 through 9.

This will make small computers very fast.

Stores information on a storage medium that is composed of 3-D crystal-like objects with many sides or faces

This will provide tremendous storage in a small space.

The necessity of technology.

Closing the great digital divide.

Technology for the betterment of society.

Exchanging privacy for convinience.

Ethics.

It's everywhere.

It's inescapable.

It's up to you how it gets used.

There are technology-challenged countries and cultures.

You must take technology to those places.

Businesses use IT to make money and thats ok.

Technology can also be used when no money is to be made; and thats great.

Many medical applications of IT will never make any money.

You do this everyday in small ways

Be careful

Don't give up too much privacy

Ethics are essential

Our society cannot operate without them

Use technology wisely

- For financial gain

- But never to the detriment of other people
