问题     【T1】Over the last few years the Internet has evolved from being a scientific network only, to a platform that is enabling a new generation of businesses. The first wave of electronic business was fundamentally the exchange of information.
    But, with time, more and more types of businesses have become available electronically.【T2】Nowadays we can buy goods online, book holidays or have texts translated over the Internet in an instant. Home banking, for example, is one application that is already provided by most banks around the world. Looking up your balance, transferring money and other transactions are done every day by millions of people. Public administration has discovered the Internet as a means to talk to the general public at election times. And it will not be a long time before we see general elections decided on the Internet.
    The reason why I have called this book "The E-business(R)evolution" is that the approach is twofold. Technology has revolutionized the way we can do business. But business itself is only slowly adapting to the new possibilities. The New Economy needs a new paradigm, but the process of conversion will take some time to complete. The necessary technology is ready and wailing.【T3】The e-business in the title is not the same as IBM is seeing it, it is much more, as you will discover by reading this book, therefore the "B" in e-business not written in capital letters as in IBM’s ease.
    The Internet is changing the concept of programming applications. We are moving towards pervasive computing and towards electronic services. The Jini technology is one of the first implementations of what one could call "one world, one computer". Jini allows every device to talk to every other device in a common language.【T4】A device in this case can be anything with a silicon chip inside and an Internet connection. Other companies have started to develop similar paradigms, technologies and visions, such as IBM’s T-Spaces technology and Hewlett-Packard’s E-Services strategy.
    【T5】Most probably you already know the example of the empty refrigerator that sends an e-mail to the grocery with a request for fresh milk that will be delivered to the doorstep before breakfast in the morning. Prototypes have already been built. A bar-code reader is able to detect which products are put into the fridge and taken out afterwards. For many people this won’t be a necessity in the future. The grocery is more than just a place where people can buy food. It is a social place where people meet, which cannot be simply replaced by two chips. But for those who do not have the time to do the shopping or are not able to walk to the grocery, this may become an option.
