Product Description
At the dawn of a new millennium, faith in technology soared following the successful eradication of the potentially paralyzing Y2K bug. Young dot-coms with little experience and possessing few assets other than a concept, flourished boasting market values in the millions and even billions of dollars. Then reality settled in as the market crashed and over a hundred dot-coms perished. The highflying NASDAQ dropped over 60% and the longest economic expansion teetered on the brink of recession. Despite the disconcerting scenario, this was not the demise of the Web, but merely the conclusion of its innocent childhood or the first stage of meteoric growth. After all, the Web was only 10 years old. There were still trillions of dollars worth of opportunities, as the more rigorous applications waited to be accomplished. The Web is a revolutionary event, yet there is no evident vision of its future. This book projects the Web until the year 2020 and will interest anyone intrigued by the Web, but perplexed by its seemingly erratic course. The book clarifies the murky Web, showing how it will interconnect emerging digital technologies to revolutionize our home, work, and society. In short, 2020 Web Vision will relieve the future shock engendered by the Web. It will also be helpful to those interested in building new applications or investing in future technological enterprises.

 | A weekend read Sep 4, 2001 |
| Web Vision is not primarily a book about the Internet, the Web, e-business, or e-commerce; it is a vision of how these technologies will take society forward. The Internet is more than thirty years old and its technology is poised to enable society to take off in new directions. The book, Web Vision, explores these directions in logical and insightful ways. As one author put it, firms are beginning to realize that the real action in the web is yet to happen and is in digital space. The book is a good resource for those that want to develop strategies to position themselves or their organization to take advantage of these new opportunities. The book is well thought out, well reasoned, and well presented; consequently it is easy to read and follow. The ideas presented are done in a straightforward non-technical non-threatening manner. The author uses his twenty-plus years of experience to provide pleasant compelling examples of how and why this "new" technology will impact us. I found the chapters addressing work and virtual society to be particularly interesting. The author explores how cyber space can be used to create virtual offices, virtual meeting places, and virtual commuting, thereby providing a driving force in the next generation of work and play. The idea that technology can be used to help society's problems is well presented and appealing. | | | | 2020 Web Vision Aug 21, 2001 |
| "Web Vision is an excellent tool for evaluating the possibilities of not only the Web and its future, but of its impact upon our lives." | | |  | A technician's view. Aug 18, 2001 |
| For the last four years I have been concentrating on the technical aspects of Web development. This book provided me with the background and business perpective I was missing so I can relate the work I've done to the larger framework of e-business. I would highly recommend this book. | | | Write your own review about 2020 Web Vision: How the Internet Will Revolutionize Future Homes, Business & Society
