With domain names in Hindi, Arabic and Chinese set to become a reality on the Web, the pundits in this science hub of Switzerland, where the 
internet was arguably invented, claim the next giant leap towards internationalisation will be the grid, which is just weeks away from powering up.

The grid, which is made of thousands of desktops, laptops, supercomputers, data vaults, mobile phones, meteorological sensors and telescopes will start work when protons beams collide with each other in the worlds biggest experiment ever inside a deep tunnel here on the French-Swiss border.

It is a revolution, say scientists of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) because it uses the internet but is not the internet. Using cloud computing, the grid will combine the computing resources of more than 100,000 processors from more than 170 sites in 34 countries and will be accessible to thousands of physicists globally.

The scientists claim it will change the way the information superhighway works. Small computer grids similar to power grids have been in operation for some time, but CERN’s will be the biggest one of them all and will become a reality when its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) becomes operational this month.

The Grid will not only enable sharing of documents and MP3 files, but also connect PCs with sensors, telescopes and tidal-wave simulators.

The Grid evolved from the early desire to connect supercomputers into “metacomputers” that could be remotely controlled. The word “grid” was borrowed from the electricity grid, to imply that any compatible device could be plugged in anywhere on the Grid and be guaranteed a certain level of resources, regardless of where those resources might come from.

The Grid may give birth to a global file-swapping network or a members-only citadel for moneyed institutions. But just as no one ten years ago would have conceived of Napster — not to mention AmIHotOrNot.com — the future of the Grid is unknown.

In the name of cultural and linguistic diversity, our loyal comrades over at the ICANN are about to approve availability of domain names in non-Latin alphabets. That’s right, Chinese and Japanese folks will finally be able to address their websites in their native tongue, as will fans of Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek or Hindi scripts. Basically, linguists of every type are finally invited to the interwebs party, a move described by ICANN chairman Peter Thrush as “the biggest change technically to the internet since it was invented.” This follows an extensive two-year testing period for a translation engine that can convert your lazy Latin scribblings into the refined hieroglyphics of modern Cantonese. Pending approval this Friday, the first new domain names will start coming out in 2010, when we can expect a whole new wave of internet land grabbing.

In fall 1969, computers sending data between two California universities set the stage for the Internet, which became a household word in the 1990s.

By the late 1960s computers were being used by NASA and other government agencies.

Then on September 2nd 1969, in a lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, two computers passed test data through a 15-foot gray cable.

In the 70s, the silicone chip became the basis of a new generation of computerized devices .

Following the silicone chip, came games and e-mail, creating a social and industrial revolution.
The Internet didn’t become a household word until the 90s, though, when Lee, a British physicist invented the Web and service providers like America Online connected millions of people for the first time.

With the great evolvement of the World Wide Web and computers, everyone is waiting to see what the next generation of communication and gaming devices will look like.

Twitter and Facebook don’t really enable you to do anything you couldn’t have done before with old protocols and services such as IRC, but they focus on you – the person – and they make it easier than ever to share and to connect with other people.

Surfing the Internet is one of my favorite hobbies. Luckily, it’s also part of my job. As a product of the Information Age, I look to my computer more and more for the answers—both trivial and necessary—for which I’m searching.

How is “rancorous” spelled? I go to dictionary.com for definitions, usage, and word variations. For buying movie tickets, I check reviews or previews at bollywood.ac. What show’s playing next? I go to www.inoxmovies.com and can see the whole schedule. We already know or make of use online booking facilities of train tickets, flight tickets, hotel bookings or holidays packages….

Digital Signatures allows us to do e-filing, e-tendering and more… Banks are almost online, allowing to make online transactions… Gone are the days where we see huge gathering of brokers outside stock exchanges…all because of online trading facilities at our own home or office…

I send birthday gifts and other gifts online to all over India or abroad easily from sites like www.hindustanlink.com (of course it my site only) or from rediff.com / indiatimes.com.

Search online and have some cool new music within minutes. How did the Yuvraj
do on Sunday? I can check the score—or follow along online—at cricinfo.com.

Not too long ago, finding that last bit of information meant waiting through 25 minutes of local TV news or waiting until the next day to read the article in the newspaper. Not any more.

Times have indeed changed. Now everyting is just a click away….

Internet experts think Web 3.0 is going to be like having a personal assistant who knows practically everything about you and can access all the information on the Internet to answer any question. Many compare Web 3.0 to a giant database. While Web 2.0 uses the Internet to make connections between people, Web 3.0 will use the Internet to make connections with information. Some experts see Web 3.0 replacing the current Web while others believe it will exist as a separate network.

According to some Internet experts, with Web 3.0 you’ll be able to sit back and let the Internet do all the work for you. You could use a search service and narrow the parameters of your search. The browser program then gathers, analyzes and presents the data to you in a way that makes comparison a snap. It can do this because Web 3.0 will be able to understand information on the Web.
