Foil 11 The World Wide Web and Mosaic Phenomenon as Killer Applications -- II

From Webserver General Description -- January 1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
Why is WWW/Mosaic relevant for everybody?
  • At the high end, WWW/Mosaic will motivate use of parallel computers as Webservers
  • At the low end, already IBM and Microsoft will incorporate Web browsers in the new releases of their operating systems.
  • Note that these standards were set outside these giants which are following others' standards -- not selling proprietary systems.
  • The Web will play in the 1990's the same role that the PC did in the 80's and will impact all new coming interactive technologies
  • Further Interactive multimedia will be dominant computer and communications market 5 to 10 years from now
