The Web is Dead, Long Live the Web

ACM News Service.  From 2004-10-05: The world Internet, with connectivity into all communicative devices, promises services that work where we are and coherently with what we are up to at the time.  I am reminded of the car/space-ship AI that Robert Heinlein portrayed in his The Number of the Beast. This blurb emphasizes the importance of place and awareness of place and having that situate the behavior of agents and other networked processses that are operating on our behalf, such as letting us know when to leave for the airport to arrive in time for departure, with adjustment for current traffic and weather conditions on the route.  The idea is for services situated in our world and the solution pieces are envisioned as coming together.

Kevin Maney's 2004-10-01 USA Today cover story talks about the web being over and this being the next big thing.  There is an expanded look at the concepts and the convergence of economic, technological, and social structures that will make it possible.
