A tidbit from Phil Geiger for Soros and all. I just received a little tidbit in my e-mail from Phil Geiger. Marty: I haven't coughed up my $125 yet, so I can't post this to SI. Below is a copy of a post I sent to the Yahoo board last night. Feel free to re-post at SI, or slice and dice as you will. Phil ______ For those who want a glimpse of how the Wave meter can be applied, check out the current issue of PC Mag: 2001: Computing in the New Millenium (6/9/98); or go to their Web site at zdnet.com (Clickon Internet Icon; goto bullets: Choose "Digital Leisure", by Richard Dragan) Some excerpts: ___________ "The new bandwidth of the Internet will bring a host of software titles to your browser, removing the need to buy and install a CD-ROM. One company, Arepa, is planning to work with content providers to deliver CD-ROM titles across the wire. Today, online gaming sites such as Sierra have already signed up tens of thousands of users for role-playing and strategy games, a foreseeable segment likely to grow in the future. Subscription gaming sites will also grow and certainly benefit from the ability to stream multimedia content. "But the market for home software delivered over the Web is potentially immense. It's estimated that the consumer software market will expand from $4.7 billion in 1996 to $10 billion by 2001. Chances are, a good deal of that software will be delivered--and run--over the Internet. In the near future, users will benefit from a wide array of titles and can try and buy software titles as well as use services that provide CD titles on a pay-per-use or subscription basis. "Naturally, the growth of Internet commerce means more opportunities to spend time shopping, always a popular form of recreation. Don't expect the local mall to go under by 2001, but rest assured that buying online will become a more acceptable option for mainstream buyers with the widespread adoption of the rules and standards for secure Internet commerce." _______ Other articles on encryption and software agents contain Wave Harmonics. For instance, the article "Software Agents" mentions surfers carrying "their passports (network identities) with them from site to site. The potential for Internet commerce will surely increase as products and content are customized across Web sites for the same user." Imagine, Wave enabled shopping agents that do your shopping for you...(Like turning your teenager loose with a credit card?) Cheers, magisterludi (4 year Wavx owner)
