Browser Concerns
Current internet browsers are read-only browsers i.e. data which is viewed through current browsers can not be reprocessed. They also do not allow the user to store the viewed records on their machines as a database.
Functionality Concerns
Present internet browsers barely provides peer-to-peer & grid computing functionality to the users. They hardly show advertisements as per user wish or allow them to create their own domain specific virtual personal networks.
Search Concerns
Current internet search engines can search only static pages and not databases and documents publicly available on users’ machines. They do not allow users to search on the basis of specific field values i.e. if a user searches for “Jobs”, the results will also be got from other unrelated sites.
Time Concerns
Present internet search engines barely allow the users to search between specific date range or search for multiple terms at a time. Current
internet search is unorganized and hardly provides time stamps for all the data. It also does not differentiate between the current data & expired data.
Safety Concerns
Present internet search does not help to avoid piracy, virus & spamming and there are no specific standards & norms for development.
Result Concerns
Search results lack relevance (e.g., non-specific user queries on inefficient search engine databases yield excessive or outdated data for users to manually sort through).
Feasibility Concerns
Search results often contain duplicate site listings and links to “dead” (i.e., unavailable) information. Search results often contain unwanted adult content.
Interruption Concerns
Web site owners experience exceptional delays when “registering” their sites. It can take up to more than 2 months to be “found” by prominent search engines or listed in recognized directories.
Linkage Concerns
Keywords are sold (e.g., the top 10 search results on the word “apartment” link to the highest bidder) which destroys the original “level playing field” ideal of the Internet.
Content Concerns
Existing search engines have only indexed approximately 25% of the URLs (Web site addresses) on the Internet. Of that 25%, less than 5% of the content is indexed (i.e., sites with relevant, yet inconspicuously placed material, may not display in search results).
Expansion Concerns
The Web is growing at a rate too fast for current search engine indexing technology to effectively index. As a result, only approximately 25% of the
internet is being indexed and new or revised content is not accounted for in a timely manner. The current search engine indexing techniques (e.g., spiders) consume scarce
web server bandwidth and CPU resources of the hosting sites.
Duplication Concerns
Internet users are required to become member of different websites and hence forced to maintain multiple identities. The present
internet system aids duplication of development i.e. there are thousands of websites for same subject having different data structure resulting in loss of billion dollars in social cost.
Infrastructure Concerns
These disappointments all stem from a poorly conceived internet infrastructure. And as the
web continues to grow exponentially, these limitations will become even more apparent.
