  • Web Science: Studying the Internet to Protect Our Future

  • Key Concepts

     
     
    • The relentless rise in Web pages and links is creating emergent properties, from social networking to virtual identity theft, that are transforming society.
     
    • A new discipline, Web science, aims to discover how Web traits arise and how they can be harnessed or held in check to benefit society.
     
    • Important advances are beginning to be made; more work can solve major issues such as securing privacy and conveying trust.
  • Little appreciated, however, is the fact that the Web is more than the sum of its pages. Vast emergent properties have arisen that are transforming society.
  • But few investigators are studying how such emergent properties have actally happened, how we might harness them, what new phenomena may be coming or what any of this might mean for humankind.
  • Ultimately, the pursuit aims to answer fundamental questions: What evolutionary patterns have driven the Web’s growth? Could they burn out? How do tipping points arise, and can that be altered?
  • Insights Already
  • Google’s success shows that the Web needs to be understood and that it needs to be engineered.
