Next-generation Internet

Saturday, November 09, 2002

Internet2—the next-generation version now being developed by 500 universities, research organizations, and businesses—will introduce a new technology called “selective retransmission,” which does a better job of managing communications packets that have been lost in transmission.

Instead of requiring complete retransmissions, selective retransmission requests only the missing packets. Internet2 will make it possible for users to experience 70-Mbps streaming media on a 12-speaker surround sound system and sharp video on a 30x17’ screen. University of Southern California electrical engineering professor Sandy Sawchuk predicts: “In the future, immersive technology like this could be used for a lots of things. Some of the obvious applications are in education and even medical procedures.”

One-screen Access to Your Life

SCOPING OUT THE FUTURE

Yale computer scientist David Gelernter is glad that the Microsoft trial is behind us, because “operating systems are lapsing into senile irrelevance,” and we need to move on to the future. And what will the future be all about?  “Every piece of digital information you own or share will appear (in the near future) in one universal structure”—one to which you’ll have access from any Net-connected computer anywhere. “I have time for only one screen in my life,” says Gelernter. “That screen had better give me access to everything, everywhere.” The universal structure, dubbed Scopeware, will be a narrative, 3D stream of electronic documents flowing through time.” The future (where you store your calendar, reminders, plans) flows into the present (where you keep material you’re working on right now) and on into the past (where every e-mail message and draft, digital photo, application, virtual Rolodex card, video and audio clip and Web bookmark is stored, in addition to all those calendar notes and reminders that used to be part of the future and have since flowed into the past to be archived forever).”
