The topic of this week's access science article was the Internet. This reading was an encyclopedia article that had a lot of information about the Internet. The article described how and when the Internet or was created and how is has expanded to the scale that it is at now. This article also talks about the features and systems of the Internet. It also goes into the number of ways that the Internet is used to communicate, including e-mail and instant chats. The Internet is generally a massive network where almost all computers can connect with and share data. The sharing of information is why the internet is so relevant to intelligent buildings. With it people working on the same project will be able to communicate with each other so the work would be able to be done with less error and more quickly.
For the additional article this week I read "WorldDesk and Dropbox introduce cloud collaboration". This article talks about a new revolutionary idea that will allow you to uses your desktop from any computer with access to the Internet. WorldDesk is currently working with DropBox to create a service that will allow a user to access a personal virtual desktop anywhere. WorldDesk is a company that works with desktop visualization and DropBox uses cloud storage. Combining these two technologies will allow a virtual desktop to be reached via a cloud based delivery platform. A beta version of this technology was just released a few days ago for 32-bit Windows 7 machines. This is a large step in utilizing cloud technology. This service would almost eliminate the need for owning a personal computer, especially if these virtual desktops could be accessed from public computers. Not only will a user be able to access their information or data that is saved but also the user’s settings and applications from the desktop
