  Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all. (John F. Kennedy)

  New Internet Threats 

Zombie ---
One alarming trend to emerge from the survey was the increasing number of zombie computers – PC's that have been compromised remotely by hackers or virus writer. Zombie computers are sending out over 40% of the world's spam, usually to the complete ignorance of the PC owners.

Spim ---
Researchers warn that SPIM (advertising programs that enters to PC through Instant Messaging) is growing at about three times the rate of spam (unwanted advertising messages sent through e-mails), as spammers adapt their toolkit to exploit a rapidly rising number of new instant messaging (I.M) users.

  What will the Internet of the future be like?  

Here are some ideas, either coming, dreamed, or being used on a limited scale. Be ready to grab one!

Medicine

• Doctors will diagnose conditions in patients anywhere in the world.

• Surgeons can guide robots to perform remote surgery.

• Physicians will communicate via email with patients.

Transportation

• Commercial airlines will be flown without pilots.

• Cars will allow for drivers to have hands-free access to the Internet.

Home

• Microchips in walls, in homes will monitor and adjust room temperatures and detect motion and call fire and police departments. Appliances will come automatically linked into a network, a fridge will detect when milk is getting low and will order more.

Entertainment

• Tele-immersion technology will be used in restaurants.

• A high-bandwidth Internet connection would link a person in a restaurant cubicle via video to other family members at home, letting them have dinner together.

Books

• All books could be email books.

• Simply download the text and pay the fee--or not.

• Libraries may lend books over the Internet.

Education

• Closed-circuit learning might be extended even to grade school kids.

• Snow days could become a thing of the past.

At above, you have learnt, what our future internet would be.

Now, let us look back in our past...

  The Life before Computers 

An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
And a keyboard was on a piano!

Memory was something that you lost with age
And a CD was a bank account
And if you had a corrupted disk
It would hurt when you found out!

Compress was what you did to garbage
Not something you did to a file
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail for a while!

Log on was adding wood to a fire
A hard drive was a trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to the commode!

Cutting, you did with a pocket knife,
Pasting, you did with glue.
The Web was where a spider lived
And a virus was the flu!
