Object Oriented Programming has many benefits, the primary of which is object re-use. i Object reuse is the primary reason application programming languages such as Java and C/C++ dominate the web and platform development industry. Object reuse allows the evolution of data-structures and forms in a manner as to reduce the overall time required and increase the reliability of a given application whilst compartmentalizing and simplifying the development process, this in turn reduces development costs allowing businesses to achieve quantifiable results faster. The Document Object Model (DOM) ii , is a language neutral interface that allows Javascript, XHTML and DHTML to function in a uniform manner regardless of platform or hosting infrastructure; they are expected to play well together anywhere. The great possibilities for Java-script objects are those that have been developed and used by companies such as Amazon, they awarded a famous patent for “1-click” purchases. iii This 1-cli...

The impact of increased availability of all human knowledge on the internet is only begging to be felt by modern society now.   Ray Kurtzweil refers to the advance and paradigm shift of the internet containing all human knowledge as the “Singularity”; it is defined as a point in time in the near future where machines will have greater intelligence then their human masters. [i] The primary example of H.G. Wells oracle from the time machine can be seen in Wikipedia directly; this and the Web 2.0 standard where the machines may now understand the content and data presented via HTML 4.2 and HTML 5.0 standards; this results in the ability for anyone with an internet connection to have access to the “Sum of all Knowledge”; the result of this is the “Law of Accelerating Returns” [ii] , where technologies not previously related to the internet maintain rapid returns and breakthroughs with respect to innovation. Some brief examples of rapid technological evolution include computers and ...

The deep web and its impact in relation to search engines, academia and commercial sites can be summarized by the presence of new commercial products aimed directly at the information management sector. The issue of the deep web is that the various commercial bodies that contribute to the internet at large also maintain large repositories of competitive knowledge or repositories that have no external links or connections; this may be defined as a collection of “Trade Secrets” and “Information”; the primary example would be the recipe for fries at McDonalds.   You’ll see the nutritional make up of fries on McDonalds web site; you’d be hard pressed to find the details of they’re fabrication anywhere. These commercial bodies will engage in public or semi-public communication with their commercial parterres via the internet; but just as all radio communications is not for public consumption [i] , neither are all web-servers.
