What is Emerging Web Technology?[edit | edit source]

To be "Emerging," the technology must not yet be universally accepted by the Web community, but its acceptance must be steadily increasing. Its level of acceptance can be low, but if it is steadily low and not increasing, then it could not be considered emerging. Its level of acceptance can also be high, but if it is extremely high, (even if its popularity is steadily increasing), then it would be considered an established technology and no longer emerging. So that is why it is a good idea to keep updating the list of technologies that can be considered emerging.

As the tools continually evolve to process higher level human thinking, and possible made accessible to small and medium-sized organizations, it remains to be seen how dependent decision makers will become on the technology.
