[Imagination Club] Challenge: where is the Internet going?

[Moe Lataifeh]

Hello my fellow thinkers !

I just joined the group 2 days ago ..trying to creat some time to contribute 
with something .. I could't plan the time really as the subject of
this mail just kept hanging in my mind ..

I am doing my last 2 months in a Master degree in ERP systems
(Enterprise Resources Planning) down under in Melbourne ..though I am
a Canadian resident of a Jordanian origin,,but that is a whole story
..

cut short to the point ..I agree with Jack in all his speculations ..
and I guess most of the mentioned point can be summurized in one word
.. Convergence.

and really to get a clear picture of what is going to be in 5 or 10
years down the road, one must look back and reflect on what we had for
the last 10 years..
I actually wrote a paper last semester that was translated and
published in Arabic
and I loved to share it with you hoping that you will find some
answers to your questions or at least give you a nice walk through
analysis of what has happened and what might be.


Regards,
Mohammed
