Google Chrome
I read the 38 page comic strip that Google released about their new browser, Google Chrome, and was really excited to learn about something Google had created just for web users. But, after reading it, I felt rather confused to be completely honest. There was a lot of technological jargon in the comic strip that I had a hard time keeping up with, and I found myself skipping pages because I was literally lost in the translation. However, fortunately I did understand some really fun, convenient, and important features of Chrome. I like that it was designed specifically for the applications that are being used on the web more and more as well as for those who are using the applications. Chrome promises to be faster, more safe and secure, and more stable than browsers currently being used. Though reviews that I read of Chrome said that the product fell slightly short of the promises Google made, I feel that it will eventually meet and exceed expectations of users. I feel that once Google Chrome becomes the browser that it has promised to be, working efficiently and without many glitches, it will impact our industry by making it more organized. When opening up a new tab, the user is presented with all of their most visited sites. It also keeps track of key words and phrases used to search. Chrome will help eliminate searching for sites the people use on a daily basis, and will help make those things easily accessible. It will also keep the industry more efficient by being able to handle higher levels of video and audio streaming, as well as being able to handle an increased level of browser windows and tabs open. Chrome will also help to better the Internet in general. It reports harmful sites to the owners so that they can have the opportunity to clean the site up, and also is an open source browser, allowing others to take advantage of things Google is doing well and use them for themselves. I have also wondered, while reading about Chrome and the different reviews written about the browser, if it will become a monopoly on browser services as it includes email, blogs, search engine capabilities, chat options, and so much more.
