The Future Internet and its social return of investment

Published: 21 June 2010 Publication History

Abstract

The economy evolution provides new opportunities for business. Future Internet technologies are overcoming technical barriers and generating new needs perceived as new challenges and as potential source of money. The meritocracy of Future Internet's technologies such as Web2.0 is usually based on technical arguments. However organization's benefits cannot be limited to technical advances. Future Internet evolution should emphasize organization's benefits more from social and economic perspectives than from a technological perspective. In this paper we analyze the new future internet path and we envisage some guidelines for measuring the return of investment in this context.
