The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet (

web article)

In the article ‘The Web is long dead. Long live the internet’ an interesting issue is bought to attention. The article opens with the description of daily activities conducted by a netizen. It is stated that a user will tend to spend more time on internet based applications such as Facebook, Skype, Twitter on their smartphones or Ipads than using a web browser. “It’s driven primarily by the rise of the iPhone model of mobile computing, and it’s a world Google can’t crawl, one where HTML doesn’t rule,” writes Chris Anderson. This statement implies that businesses will be affected due to this issue. Companies such as Google will experience an exponential decay in their profits due to this paradigm shift in today’s digital world. Towards the end of the article the author writes that “center of gravity of all media — is moving to a post-HTML environment” which once again reiterates that there is a possibility that sucha transition will take place in the future.
