There is an odd mix of permeability and impermeability in the Net. You won't be able to communicate with everyone, and not every application will be accessible to everyone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you live in a networked environment, it's possible to separate data from applications.
When I helped to develop the open standards that computers use to communicate with one another across the Net, I hoped for but could not predict how it would blossom and how much human ingenuity it would unleash.
Coming back to the topic of computer security, the TCP Wrapper is an example of such a safety net. I wrote it when my systems were under attack by someone who appeared to walk through walls.
But what Web services suggest is that the connection is always there between an application that is resident somewhere in the cloud, and a user who is somewhere on the other end of a connection.
It's strategic for us - lots of people will develop applications in .NET.
I can connect with whoever I want to connect with in the world. And I can also write my own script. I don't have to follow rules. I can sort of just be unconventional.
Well Web services are nothing more than a way for users to interact with applications.
With technology, there is so much isolation with people now, that there are very few places where you can connect.
All this technology for connection and what we really only know more about is how anonymous we are in the grand scheme of things.
One reason you should not use web applications to do your computing is that you lose control.
