WEEK 10 - FUTURE OF THE INTERNET
COURSE UPDATE - DATES FOR FIELD TRIPS!
NEWS: Facebook broke Google's lead last week for most visits to their site. Facebook had been getting a little over 2% of all visits on the world wide web a year ago, and topped off last week with 7.07% of the market share – beating Google's lead by 4 hundredths of a percentage point
1. Micropayments for Quality and Speciality Content
Micro-payments will likely be popular among online magazines and news services, as well as other providers of in-depth content. Micro-payments might also be adopted by artists and content creators to defer costs and make a profit.The most prevalent current micro-payment systems are within MMORPGs (massively multi-player online role-playing games)
applications like Mob Wars have gathered as much as $1 million per month from micropayments.

2. Wider Montiors and Horizontal Scrolling Content
Monitors keep getting larger and most are 16:9 scale. Why not scroll horizontally? scroll horizontal example 2 27 scrolling websites
3. More Collaborative and Real TIme Content
Novels have been written entirely on Facebook, with input from readers on the work in progress (e.g. The Man Who Painted Agnieszka’s Shoes by Dan Holloway). Even textbooks have been written by collaboration (see Wikibooks).
Some projects will consist of small groups of people who already know each other, while other projects will bring together hundreds or even thousands of participants who were till then strangers. There’s really no limit to how many people could participate.
Google Docs allow writers to collaborate on a single document, tracking changes by each participant and allowing others to revert to earlier versions if necessary.
4. Making the Web more Organized. Tags, Keywords,...Semantic Code The Semantic Web is an evolving development of the World Wide Web in which the meaning (semantics) of information and services on the web is defined, making it possible for the web to "understand" and satisfy the requests of people and machines to use the web content.(i.e. <font size="6"><b>This is the page title</b></font> to <h1>This is a heading</h1>)

5. Augmented Reality In Mobile Web Applications (i.e. face and object recognation - pretty soon using an augmented reality program on your mobile phone to find out who a person is might be possible. You’d just snap a picture of them, and the app would cross-reference it with social networking profiles and photos across the Web, eventually coming across a match.
Layar, a free augmented reality app, is available for both the iPhone and Android-based phones. It uses layers provided by a variety of content providers such as Flickr, Wikipedia and Twitter to display an overlay of information on your mobile screen.
6. Even More Social Apps - Niche social networks will also continue to grow. Social networks exist for practically every niche, and this will not go away. Services such as Ning and platforms like Elgg make it easy for non-programmers to set up their own social networks quickly and easily.
7. Movies and TV online - TVs hooked up to the Internet. DVD sales plummet as You Tube and Netflix stream. Show Netflix - how easy to use.
8. Social Issues and making better use of our time. Video

What is New Media
Definition according to Wikipedia:
"New media is a term meant to encompass the emergence of digital, computerized, or networked information and communcation technologies in the later part of the 20th century. Most technologies described as "new media" are digital, often having characteristics of being manipulated, networkable, dense, compressible, interactive and impartial. Some expamples may be the Internet, websites, computer multimedia, computer games, CD-ROMS, and DVDs. New media is not television programs, greature films, magazines, books, or paper-based publications."
See the link 2 footnote. This was taken from Lev Manovich's "New Media From Borges to HTML" in 2003. This seems dated to me. What about when TV is digital and interactive - TIVO, digital satellite, what if the TV show is streaming on justin.tv and people are chatting in real-time?
The same could be said about films, magazines, books, etc... Even Manovich would say "new media is analog converted to a digital representation" p. 49 " The Language of New Media (2001). The quote in wiki is taken out of context.
As a group, list on the board of everything that is/could be New Media.
What does it all stem from? - The Computer, but deeper, what is the computer made up of? Algorythms - math. Morphing White Paper Example
This is why the course was changed to lecture.
Are these examples New Media Art?
