Emerging Technology, Part 1

     My article is about the new Facebook timeline. There are over 850 million active Facebook users, so this was a very intelligent way to keep the website more organized. Facebook's motivation is to better target the advertisements that are responsible for 85 percent of its revenue. Facebook's data warehouse was adding 625,000 terabytes of compressed data daily by last January. Timeline's new features are bound to boost that number dramatically, potentially providing Facebook with more personal data than any other ad seller online can access. One way Timeline gets users to add marketable meaning is by asking them to categorize their updates under a large collection of "Life Events," which includes tags for actions like having a child. A user who notes a relative having a baby is prompted to specify details such as the gender, hair color, eye color, etc. This timeline is like an autobiography of the website user. When people see Timeline, they become aware that all those bits and pieces are more than the sum of the parts. I myself really like the Timeline for Facebook.

     In 2009 there were a few past "emerging technologies" that we do use today including Software Assistance and Networks. We use these electronic helpful tools in our computers daily. Many software are much more complex today, then they were in 2009. But we used these ideas to help develop what we have today.
