家园 【讨论】天下文章，抄乎？简评 Technology in 2009在印刷版的标题是“4 Tech Trends to Watch in 2009”。文章中提的几个2009年的热点问题在这个河里的这个版块也多有讨论，莫非作者也是文抄公？还英抄中？
废话少说，看看作者的几个“趋势”：
1.Next-Generation Web Platforms。这个吗，主要是说的是下一代的浏览器。比较闪光的论断是
Time and again Web developers have shown that if you give them the tools, they will build new and exciting types of sites and applications.Also, unlike classic enterprise application development systems, these new Web technologies—much like AJAX and Ruby on Rails, which have powered the Web 2.0 boom—are cost-effective and often simple to use for developing applications. That means that the next-generation Web startups will be able to get up and running without the help from banks and venture capital firms that might be hard to get in the current economy
2.Open Mobile Platforms。主要讲手机应用，结论
A ray of light in the darkness of mobile applications first appeared with the launch of the iPhone and other devices that provided good Web experiences.With these developments, we should finally start to see in 2009 some of the explosion in mobile applications that we’ve been expecting for years, and we will take another step toward a mobile Web that offers some of the same freedoms of choice that the current Web does.3.Cloud Computing。云计算。这是个“烂了街”的话题，地球上的IT人都知道。
4.Semantic Search。语义搜索。曾经热门过的话题。
看来这文章也是一大杂烩，读者评价3星 --- 5星最高。
家园 4个趋势 1. AJAX，我的理解，基本上就是JavaScript的改进。能不能担负起Web的新一轮勃兴，有点让人怀疑。
2. Android，好东西。但是能不能掀起手机平台的革命，主要难点不是技术，而是手机制造商，尤其是Nokia的认同。Nokia有市场份额，有自己的平台Symbian，凭什么用Android？
3. Cloud computing。在等待着Google分给我云空间，准备把西西河搬过去。
4. Search，semantic不是热点，content mining更像是值得关注的东西。而且，content mining不一定全靠技术来自动处理，how about User Generated Content，also User Edited Content, and User Monitored Content?
