Hundreds of sites for job search, thousands to find the best trip deal, endless news sites, millions of blogs, countless for shopping …
Is the number going to grow ? Am I missing the best deals because I don’t know the right site ? Am I up to date in ticket fares ? If I disconnect for 6 months will I have to catchup with the new oportunities, technologies, fares, sites , news sources ?
If I move to another country, another language, do I have to sit for a week to find out what is the site for shopping, car renting, apartment renting, job searching, do I have to adapt not only to a new location but as well to a new cyberlocation ?
I feel like I’m not ready for this game, I run out of usernames and passwords, and if you ask me to change the password every few months then just forget about me.
But still I do feel uncomfortable with the idea of not knowing who is selling the cheapest flights, or not getting informed about that job positions I’m waiting for.
How about changing this Site Centric Internet to an User Centric Internet ? In other words : I don’t want to go to your web site, you come to me. orThis is what I want, anyone ?
This would be a paradigm shift in the use of internet, what I call Zentric Paradigm, where the user becomes the center and not the wanderer around cyberspace.
Now, how could this be done , can it cover all the internet ? Certainly not, I see it as an improvement to a certain type of operations we perform on the internet usually during a medium to large period of time or even indefinite, that could be arduous and time consuming, apartment search, job search, trips, shopping for best deals. Browsing for news, googling, youtubing, chatting .. are like game playing, no automation is wanted.
We need software that would allow us to say what we want, that would go to cyberspace to notify, search, retrieve what we want and come back to us with what we asked for.
