Six Ways to Save Internet

I felt like jabbing wordsmart words into my essay..And this definitely needs to be revised :( I really should work on my vocab more!

SIX WAYS TO SAVE INTERNET




  There are certain changes that we can’t simply preclude. We can’t repudiate 솓 wide usage of electric devices and get rid of them. One day you suddenly notice these subtle differences. Perhaps the most pivotal change is rapid technological development of the Internet.



  Sir Roger McNamee articulately introduced six major hypotheses of changes in Internet. ‘Six ways to save Internet’ is what he said, but personally, hi hypotheses were more of a list than suggestions to save the Internet. Anyway, here are his ‘six ways’.


  First, /;Windows is dying." This outspoken quote has nothing to do with denouncing Microsoft or anything. This is just one exemplary case that shows the swift from desk-top computers to smart-phones. This is admissible since people seem to do everything with their mobile Internet services including banking, ticketing, downloading, everything.

  Second, "index search has peaked." Google was a dominant index when Internet was something ‘unprecedented’, ‘open-source’, ‘long-tail’ with no leader. But he clearly showed how the Internet changed in the sense of a new growing industry, with the rise of innumerable rivals of Google such as Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and so on.

  Third, "Apps beat Web." While the World Wide Web is an open source absence of secure, Apple had developed a ‘branded’, ‘value-added’, ‘copy right-protected’ Apps, and as a result, people chose Apple.

  Fourth, "HTML 5 changes it all." In 2010, the debate was commodity and the app store. In 2015 and later, it is differentiated verses monetizable. However, these issues coalesce at one point; app store verses highly differentiated content. Mr. McNamee explained that html 5 is a profound programming language where the entire website can display all content without a flash box.

  Fifth, "Tablets". If someone asks sir Roger McNamee the reason why Windows is dead, he would probably answer ‘tablets’.

  Finally, social platforms. All social networks-Facebook, Skype, Twitter, and Yelp-are following the Zynga model.




  This was a concise summary of Mr. Roger McNamee’s speech on ‘six ways to save Internet’. Overall, the speech was very novel. Mr. McNamee had accurately pointed out the six important changes in the Internet with his acute discernment. He refreshed the speech with candid words and prevented it from being overly didactic. This reminded me of a news I saw a few months ago.

  The era, which someone who can expedite the speed with better technology, is gone. What we need is an ability to innovate. No special technology is required. In an open Internet, where six billion people can freely access it, how toake the Internet ubiquitous and accessible to more people has become the main issue. Mr. McNamee was right. The swinging pendulum of technology has a fixed point. We always pursue highly differentiated content. Whatever content exists now, our goal has always been developing new, differentiated content. This is where we need our creativity. The phras, ‘We need our creativity’, sounds like the most hackneyed phrase in the world. However, I believe this actually describes our world today. "Be creative." "Be a predecessor of this world rather than being a follower who hardly keep up with all the changes."

  1. Great structure. I flew through this without a moment of hesitation or confusion. That's a good thing, and I was able to get the points and become interested in the content without getting hung up on the SAT words. It's kind of my method for scoring, and this is a nice choice of video to discuss. Windows is dead. I hope so! It's time for something new. Really interesting stuff.
