AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) is an overall name for techniques to create highly interactive web pages. Ajax techniques for creation of highly interactive web pages may assist computer literate end-users in programming tasks on the web (Cagle, 2006), with the use of web development environments such as (Ruby on rails, 2007) , and Writely (now part of Google) (2007) and similar web based office technology such as the Google Spreadsheet. This type of Rich Internet Application technology research is very useful for providing an environment for end-user programming. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a programming language, not just a language for representing information as illustrated by its use in Ajax and rich internet applications, and many products including Adobe Flex2 (1997), OpenLaszlo (2007) Open Source environment, and Tersus Open Source Visual Programming Platform (2007). This technology is generally called Web 2.0 because of the intention to provide much greater interactivity than previously found in web pages.These AJAX and web 2.0 techniques can be used for visual programming of internet applications.Recent, present and future research can enable the use of Semantic Web technologies, (developed from HTML by Tim Berners-Lee and others - 'Weaving the Web' (Berners-Lee and Fischetti, 1997), to ... [more..]

The world is used to following in Japan's footsteps when it comes to trends in technology. In the video game industry in particular, Japanese audiences have been the globe's willing guinea pigs for the mass of technological innovations and experiments that have arisen in the last half a century. Take mobile phones for instance: even as we grow increasingly used to the ever diminishing size and weight of our trusty cells, the bizarre trends they perpetuate seem to always leave us speechless.Current mobile phoning trends in Japan seem to prove this statement: as well as acting as cameras, walking web providers and mp3 players, Japan's consumers have shown that mobile phones can also acts as mediums of literature. If over-long text messages annoy you, for instance, you best steer clear of Yoshi, the Japanese author behind the bestselling novel, "Deep Love" which was first published in instalments on a website which offered content packaged for mobile phone usage. The phenomenal success of "Deep Love" (it sold millions when it was published in print, and then subsequently made into a film) is testament to the power of technology to deliver literature and art to a huge audience.

UMA - the future of mobile telephone technology? UMA, short for Unlicenced Mobile Access, is being established as consept for everybody just now. The technology lets you connect to any wireless network to the Internet. You need to have a specially designed mobilephone. When it is set up you will recieve an sms with the special code. The mobilphone then automatically searches for a wireless connection, if found, it automatically connects to the ISP. If not found, it allows you to use the standard GSM-net.Even a secured network can be used if the owner of the network did not close all the ports, that seldom happens.There are some ethical reflections that should be considered when using this kind of technology. The use of an unsecured network may be considered the use of another persons property, however, should not the owner of an Internet connection secure it if he do not want others to use it, "keeping it behind locked doors"?. As far as I know, there has never been any legal disputes on this matter.The UMA phones have already been used for a while, but just only for operators of different business networks. The first company, as far as I ... [more..]
