Natural Human-Computer Interfaces • This is a movement away from the mouse and keyboard and towards more natural methods of interaction • Natural HCI include touch, voice, gestures, and eye movements • Google Voice allows you to speak to your phone and for it to respond to your verbal requests
Mobile Computing • Mobile computing is expected to account for half of all web traffic by 2014 • Google has kept up with this trend and is active on Android phones as the search engine of choice • The phrase “Google It!” has become part of our everyday vocabulary • Google has revealed the next mobile platform…

Corporate Control on Web Development Microsoft needs to back off
Web Development Language: ASP.Net • Web Development Tool: Visual Studio • Web Development Platform: Windows Server • Database back-end: SQL Server
Visual Studio • “Let me get that for you” approach. • Less expertise • Tightly-controlled framework • Expensive • IntelliSense • All leads to poor code, poor code analysis, and poor code maintenance.
Windows Server • Condescending… • Lacking in customizability • Dumbed down for less expertise • Expensive • Forced upgrades • Lack of Portability • Recycled and poorly implemented ideas
SUA – My Nerd Rant • SUA – Subsystem for Unix Administration • Microsoft’s “retrofit” around Unix Applications – Use KornShell • KornShell replaced by bash in the early 90s. ?
SQL Server • Expensive • Forced Upgrades • To its credit, a fairly decent database • Compared to MySql, more powerful, but also more cumbersome. • Lacks portability • ONLY Windows Server
