Cost Effective Systems. The digital economy relies on a mechanism that consists of machinery, networks and procedures, to allow media forms to be stored, viewed, manipulated and saved, searched, and broadcast electronically. A combination of transparency, security, and speed, are the controlling factors for media handled by the mechanism. The hiher rated the combination, the more effective any system running on it will be to those that use it. To make this complex mechanism easy to comprehend in its entirerity, this simple model of the beast shows anyone how it works. 1. Public Information Layer. - Big Archives and long period analyses. 4a. Networked to each other. 4b. Networked to Work Node Layer 2. Work Node Layer. - A grid of end user computing devices with Internet and Human Interface ports. 4c. Networked to the Work Node Layer. 4d. Networked to human interfaces. 3. Human Interface Layer. - Mechanisms for Viewing, Listening, and Tactile output, Scanners for Visual, Audio, and Tactile input. 4e. Networked to each other 4f. Networked to Work Node. Now that we can see the pieces, it is simpler to calculate how the devices should be interconnected and where the various user selection criteria could be most effectively controlled. Looking all three controlling factors for each calculation, one can work out where and why a bottleneck occurs, and where to shift a software component to relieve the stress. Naturally a work node can be built from something simple and inexpensive like a PS3 or Xbox, games machine with an inbuilt dialup and broadband wireless router. The ISPs must control the nodes to be able to control blacklists on a proxy filter at the user interface connection device. These suggestions will shift the filtering function to where it will be more effective for these reasons: 1.Because ISPs have control over what gets into the customer machinery. 2. All customers will get an ISP supplied and grid connected work node for super high speed computing. 3. The ISPs will have a new inexpensive, but extra functions product with which to make Government guaranteed income. 4. The Government will have a popular blacklist supply role in effective content filtering, and in making ISPs deliver the new must have gadget. 5. The Internet will not be slowed at the server. 6. The work node grid will add cost free benefits to ISPs with the likes of grid storage services, and for the whole community, as traffic analyses lead to distributed local server farms reducing the stress on city power supplies. 7.The work node OS and software are installed by the ISP. 8. The user connects any existing computing equipment. It could be Apple, Microsoft, Linux, UNIX, or wireless keyboard and mouse, and cabled HD Screen to the Work Node. This direct connect to the node will lead to a stimulating market of add on interfaces. 9. If the IBM Cell chip is used, effective Work Nodes can be set up to filter content at mobile towers with a very low power footprint. This is about stopping to think clearly about getting money spent and using it to create the foundation of a superior system that can be developed and maintained cheaply and easily. Most importantly it leads to cheap and easy functionality and performance growth.
