¶ … computers and the Internet. Specifically it will discuss the problems coming in the future of computers and the Internet. There are many challenges and problems facing the future of computers and the Internet. One is the growing number of foreign-language-based Web sites and information online, and translating that information so that users have access to it. At a symposium about the future of the Internet, Eric Schmidt said that a majority of Web content will be in Chinese in five years' time (Rasmus, 2009). This will be a problem for many American sites that will want to capture that market, and it could be a problem for others around the world that do not speak Chinese but need access to the information.

Most African computer users use foreign languages in the computer use, because there are so few programs and sites available in their own languages. Another writer notes, "Reliance almost exclusively on English, French, and Portuguese for the transmission of information and new knowledge puts people who are not skilled in these languages, and arguably the societies of which they are a part, at a disadvantage" (Osborn, 2006, p. 87). This disadvantage will continue in underdeveloped nations until their users become more educated, but it puts the United States and other developed nations at a disadvantage, as well.

However, most companies acknowledge that the benefits of employee Internet usage outweigh the difficulties, and continue to offer Internet access to their employees, who also perceive it as a benefit. The term abuse also means different things to different people, and so, businesses must define abuse before they accuse their employees of abusing their Internet access. One writer defined abuse this way, "Internet abuse in the workplace is defined as

National security cards also have the ability to provide useful information and insight to policymakers on which areas of a given country will most likely be the least secure and which pose potential security threats (Ortmeier, 2009). This will also force nations to into strategic identity management systems and taxonomies of how they classify threats to their populations.
