R7 Assignment

Computer-supported collaborative work has been divided into three different sectors. The first is communications, the second is planning and scheduling, and the third is specific projects. The internet is seeking to bring all of these sectors together and revolutionize the internet all over again. To do this a browser will be able to generate an interface that is seen by all who are linked in. We have seen this with some cloud based programs and networks. The main question I asked myself in the assigned reading was “when”? Technology has been growing as an alarming rate and the ability to predict when this will be as widely accepted as a cell phone is a pertinent issue.

The article I read for the final week is titled, “Building a Better Internet in Latin America and the Caribbean” by Christian O’Flaherty. Tying into the assigned reading, this article states that there is no established governing group in the Latin American and Caribbean countries. NOGs, network operations groups are and have been unified since the early days of the internet. How Latin American countries have not had these groups is baffling to me. The article states that talks and meetings have been held to bring together the LACNIC, Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry. In these meetings, many contributor have brought up the use of cloud computing. With the rest of the world’s access to the “secure” networks connected to the Internet, it is good to see the rest of the world completing the World Wide Web.
