internet examples

The internet offers a number of opportunities for giving the effect of ‘intelligence’.
The ability to search for ‘gold fish’ on the Internet requires some rudimentary ‘intelligence’ to display suitable results. Whilst the quality of the results of current search engines varies, there is a great deal of work being done to have them be more ‘intuitive’ and ‘intelligent’.
Taking this one step further, the technology that is used to run the auction sites is fairly simple on the IQ scale and does an ‘intelligent’ job of matching buyers and sellers.
On the web design front, the early web pages were written as HTML code. Today, WYSIWYG software writes the code for you making it much easier to create a site. Another way of saying this, is that the software ‘automates’ the code for you by packaging up sequences of steps into bigger chunks. For example, if you want to change the background colour of your page, you no longer need to write a full line of code with the colour expressed as a number, you can merely click on the correct ‘page background colour’ box and designate the colour from a colour palette.
