In this short talk I will give an overview (from 30,000 feet) of
web technologies, and some information relating to questions as:
- the set of web technologies, is that something different
from other technology families in the landscape of ICT?
- Were there some strategic technical decisions that enabled
accelerated uptake of web technologies?
- are there examples of web technologies that never
succeeded?
- What new application domains are being invaded and
conquered by web technologies?
- what (where?) is the competition?
- and, what can we learn from the development of
technologies for the web?
