Joocey Technology News For Cybercafes

Posted Thursday 28th February 2008 by Catherine in Uncategorized.

It seems faith in the security of the internet is growing at rapid speeds.

Cybercafés are very popular for internet surfers but internet experts, Jooce, plan to make it possible for cybernomads to have all their own personal data safely stored on the web so they can access it through internet cafes. It will also enable them to share files and folders with friends and family who log on the same way.

It is hoped that this new method will assist the 500 million people who have no internet access of their own and have to, or choose to, make use of internet cafes, providing them with their own personalised desktop.

It will hold all the facilities of a home PC, with access to personal files, email instant messaging, and storage. Hopefully with the same level of security!

A spokesperson for the Philippines National Computer Centre, a government sponsored cybercafé, says there is much potential for Jooce but is concerned that it requires so much memory that it will be slow on machines that aren’t of the latest spec.

Other internet gurus as far afield as Africa and Latin America say that this technological advancement is a necessity to keep the cybercafés running. Even in remote areas, shared information is a must to keep things moving and internet cafe customers have been calling for this sort of service for some time.

Jooce is just one of the companies offering web-based operating systems and they are hoping to make great strides in getting web access across the globe and into the developing world for all. In the one month trial that Jooce recently carried out, they had a massive 60,000 people sign up for an account.

It seems that people really do want to be linked to the online universe and as a credit to Jooce, CNET.com, the online technology news site have nominated them as a finalist in the 2008 webware 100 awards.
