INTERNET BASED APPLICATIONS

-cloud computing
*Google has already done this wit Google docs,
office apps etc
*google ceo recently insisted that cloud computing n advertising go hand in hand*thru
cloud computing, u can access anything -doc, text,pic any kind of files from anywhere or
anydevice- ur pc (even if its low config), ur cellphone, blackberry or even possibly some
deiviceswhich is uninvented as yet* Talk abt this: thru this, in future scientists could build
devices which would have v minimal hardware, guud enuf to jus access ,read, edit all files
(pic,tex,presentations) n perform tasks (like banking, filling forms, ordering stuff etc) .It
wud have min. config coz most of d job/resources comes from server end due to cloud
computing concept....Hence all internet based apps would be freed from shackles of heavy
hardware dependency which , in turn would sky rocket the spreading, utility n popularity
of net appns
PHOTO SHARING
Microsoft had started a project in 2004-05 to provide an online unlimited storage place for
consumers to store their entire lifetime worth of fotos n also a search lib for it. Though it didnt
click
initially n got negative reviews, u can c proof of its success these days thru d various foto sharing

sites- ibibo, orkut , face book, photobucket etc

FAMILY TREE
REPLACE STORAGE LOCATION
maintaining entire life data online. This means the potential to nearly wipe out concept of
hard disk .All data can be stored in online servers. Has several adv s like
*accessibility from anywhere in d world

*no need to carry portable storage media*prevents data loss viz hard disk crash due to clients
errors
*safety
SAVINGS ON RESOURCES
access all apps without need to have competent hardware i.e u can run ur system wit min.
config and leach on/use a central server's resource. Cloud computing Current trend
It can be seen in the western society that internet apps are taking , in fact have already
taken the world by storm.ppl are getting used to the comfort it offers .net banking is one
example
NET BANKING
U can do all or most banking jobs online, thus giving u d sufar convenience of not having
to go to bank physically, saving u loads n loads of time.
FUNDAMENTAL ADVS OF INTERNET
*there are several advs the net provides which no other platform can even come close to
providing
* u can acess the net anytime, 24X7. There is no concept of open timings,close timings etc
* it involves minimal labour. Once set up, a website/net appn can self handle, with basic

maintainence , with no requirement for full time human involvement, if the same task were
to b
done physically or any other way (ex context: banking)
* the internet has d adv of accessibility i.e. One need not b physically present. One can
access from
any corner of ze planet. This means that practically most appns, even in real life can b
equivalently converted to online apps.

ADVS OF INTERNET APPLICATIONS
1. portability- can be used anywhere
2. helps reduce hardware requirement thus helping to reach out with much lesser constraints
3. updation is instantaneous
4. reduces physical work, no of human personnel reqd for a given job, if net apps r put in
place of conventional methods
5. conveniences such as time saving, anytime accessibility to services(a boon to service
industry), quick processing, all services under single hub thus simplifying things for
consumer
6. given the advancement in tech, data encryption will become better n complete safety of
sensitive data can be guaranteed
7. speed, less attack by viruses
