Tech War-the world has step ahead of being a global village

Technology War is always being there and as world is moving forward the rivalry of the companies in technology became more and more intense. When we talk about technology the one thing that pops in our mind is basic necessity that is Internet. Internet has actually became the one of the most important source of connectivity with each other and as far as communication is concern people is expecting ,and more likely to think beyond traditional internet that can be good for them. When we think of social networking, instantly Facebook has come in our mind which has strong impact in our mind because the way it is been ease for everyone people are expecting a lot.
Recently Facebook has announced a corporation with six cell phone companies bring together to form Internet.org. In this project companies like Samsung, MediaTek, Ericsson, Nokia, Opera and Qualcomm have come together for an aim to provide affordable internet access for around 5 Billion people in the world who are without it. All of the companies have come closer to work together for high quality smart phones to make the web economical, and data compression technology. It seems like the world is connected and just-one third of the population globally has internet access, growing rate at 9% and internet.org objective is to be reached that rate.
            Facebook CEO (FB) has stated Connectivity Lab aims that there is a lot more work to do but there is barriers in emerging countries to connect and join the knowledge economy adding to this he also mentioned that connecting the whole world needs to invent new technology too. Their team members are leading experts in space and communication technology includes Ames Research Center and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. Internet.org has also taking its new member of the team from a small U.K company named as Ascenta, whose founder has created earlier form of Zephyr that has turn into the world’s longest flying solar power remote controlled. They will offer services on connectivity aircraft.
There are three major reasons of partnership;
·        Making affordable accessibility
·        Using data more efficiently
·        Help business to drive access
Facebook Founder concludes his paper “Is Connectivity a Human Right?” that “he think connecting the world will be the one most important things in lifetime , and he thank every day to have the opportunity to work with all to make it in real”.

We think that Facebook team mates have felt to share the happiness of growing together with their family and friends through internet. We all want that too but the thing is its nostalgic knowing that there is some people who don’t have that opportunity. Internet.org will soon help share the connectivity experience with the whole world.
