Welcome

Welcome to our family website, a look into the lives of the Walker-Smith family, well thats the idea

To find out more about us read the whoweare page, to find out more about this site have a look at the colophon... hmm which doesn't yet exist

This site as it stands at present looks excellent on Mac, with Sarari, Netscape7.1, and Mozilla Firebird0.7, and now IE. If it looks bad in your browser, either buy a Mac or upgrade to the latest browsers!

This is a work in progress, I hope to turn the whole site over to this look and feel over the next few days, so this site may not be working 100%, esp in those pesky window browsers.

Telephones, Human DNS

A network engineer work mate of mine and I were discussing telephones. I proposed telephones as a standalone object would disappear and if one did have a telephone like device it would not be connected to a telephone connection as we know them today, it will instead be connected to whatever becomes of the Internet, it will have an IP address (IPv6 maybe). The network engineer completely refused to believe this idea, stating telephone infrastructure, cabling and telephone is so cheap, so easy, that it will never die out. On the other hand I believe network cards and other technologies on which the Internet is built will also become cheaper.

This conversation came about due to telephone area codes and why we still need them. They are not useful in cell phone technology. Why do we still need them? Yeah I know about telephone routing, but still, why is it still like that today?

This then lead to me thinking about a browseable database of contacts all over the world. In the same way the DNS allows us to look up human readable names of computers, but for humans. If you wanted to search for me then you would have to know my name, my birth year, my location within a certain distance and any other things that would allow you to find me. I would then have public contact information listed. It may just be an email address. Not even my regular one I use all the time. It could be my mobile. However if we met in the past and I passed you a code, with this code you maybe able to find more information. My parents, if we were on speaking terms would be able to get the number of the nearest phone (we are on speaking terms, here for dramatic reasons). A lot of this would be controlled by software. Just something I was thinking about. We could know a person and have information in an Address book that when accessed would go out and find the latest contact information.
