SOTN: Adobe CEO's Web 2.0 Predictions
The next-generation of the Internet known as "Web 2.0" is "nothing more than Web 1.1," said luncheon keynoter Bruce Chizen, the CEO of Adobe Systems. "It's the implementation of everything we talked about five years ago," he said. Chizen predicted that in the next few years technologies that are rolled out "will make today's Web 2.0 experience antiquated."
Places where Web users connect will also change rapidly, Chizen said. "More people will be accessing the Internet through non-PC devices than PC-devices," he forecasted. Mobile handsets, videogame systems and automobile dashboards will be the new platforms for going online.
Speaking of Web 2.0, the Pew Internet & American Life Project released a report today focused on tagging content, an emerging hallmark of the new online environment. The document includes Q&A with Web expert David Weinberger whose book on the topic is forthcoming. Because tagging is useful when dealing with lots of information, Weinberger said the practice is "truly meaningful to individuals" and will be adopted more widely.
