Opinion about the trends sited in the report and how the topics of this course relates to these trends.
The UK believes by investing in internet they will be able to reach services to their citizens quicker and much faster than other countries. This could be good or bad depending on how much time is taken to do research into this field, and where the world is going in terms of internet technology. Internet security will become more of a necessity as more confidential information will be lingering around and accessible to those with knowledge of information services.
Future of Technology is already existing in many places such as San Francisco, Barcelona, Korea and China. This makes it very plausible for the United Kingdom to implement it. In my opinion, the UK has always been a world power and a trend that the rest of the world has followed. By taking the step of adopting the future of technology early on, many things can be implemented to improve the country. This will in fact cause more countries to adopt these trends.
Some concepts that stuck out in my mind were: capable access mechanism, wireless connectivity, shared data, and converged services. These concepts along with the cloud will allow users to also instantaneously share information about social, political, business, or any other types of information. I feel that the concepts learned in this article, is what we will be learning in this course and in the Master of Internet Technology Program.
