Les 9 événements qui ont fait l'année technologique 2009 
 
 Par Nicolas DE SCITIVAUX / Tony TODD 
 
Une révolution des réseaux sociaux ?
L’année 2009 a vu les réseaux sociaux parvenir à maturité. Facebook n’est plus nouveau, et le petit dernier, Twitter, existe depuis plusieurs années. Mais les événements qui se sont déroulés en Iran en juin, après le black-out médiatique qui a suivi la réélection contestée du président Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, ont poussé nombre de citoyens à faire entendre leur voix sur Facebook et Twitter, et à poster de nombreuses vidéos sur YouTube.
 
Android contre iPhone : la guerre du smartphone
Malgré le succès instantané de l’iPhone d’Apple, 2009 aura surtout été l’année d’un autre système d’exploitation pour mobile : Android de Google. Il peut être installé sur les terminaux des différents fabricants de téléphones, et les rumeurs laissent à penser que Google pourrait même sortir son propre mobile en janvier 2010, le Nexus. Mais si son succès semble assuré, la route d’Android est encore longue s’il veut un jour réellement concurrencer Apple et sa communauté de développeurs d’applications. Plus de 2 milliards d’”Apps”, parmi les centaines de milliers disponibles, ont déjà été téléchargées par les utilisateurs d’iPhone.
 
Windows 7, une lueur d’espoir pour Microsoft ?
Après le désastre Windows Vista, Microsoft a choisi 2009 pour lancer son Windows 7, le successeur de l’impopulaire système d’exploitation. Les "fans" ont même été contraints d'organiser des fêtes pour le lancement, donnant naissance à quelques aberrations du département marketing de Microsoft sur YouTube. Mais dans son ensemble, Windows 7 a été plutôt bien accueilli par les technophiles qui, jusqu’ici, avaient préféré se cantonner à des versions antérieures d’XP. Et si la version beta d’Office 2010, disponible depuis fin 2009, reçoit le même accueil que Windows 7, le géant de Redmond pourra espérer de très bonnes ventes en 2010.
 
Les applications Google, les données dans les nuages
Ces dernières années, les utilisateurs de Google ont pu se servir de ses applications gratuites, dont Google Docs, pour subvenir à leurs besoins de logiciels bureautiques en ligne. Mais 2009 a marqué un tournant pour les Google Apps, qui ont adopté une attitude commerciale plus agressive, avec la possibilité d’intégrer sa messagerie électronique Gmail et la suite de bureautique Google au domaine Internet d’une entreprise. Un défi directement lancé à Microsoft, qui souhaite à tout prix conserver sa place de leader mondial des solutions bureautiques.
 
"Annus horribilis" pour les pirates
Dans le domaine de la lutte contre le piratage, l’année 2009 a été marquée par le procès perdu en Suède par les dirigeants du site Internet The Pirate Bay, le plus populaire des sites de torrents (fichiers utilisés par le protocole d'échange BitTorrent). Plusieurs gouvernements ont également entériné des lois renforçant la lutte contre le piratage, dont la France avec l’abracadabrantesque feuilleton de la loi Hadopi, finalement adoptée le 15 septembre et qui entre en vigueur le 1er janvier 2010.
 
Le triomphe du jeu "Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2" 
Le dernier épisode de la franchise du jeu de guerre "Call of Duty", édité par Activision-Blizzard, a totalisé 550 millions de dollars de recettes cinq jours seulement après son lancement, le 9 novembre. Un record qui lui vaut la palme du meilleur lancement de jeu de tous les temps. Avec plus de 13 millions de copies écoulées depuis. Avec plus 5 millions de téléchargements illégaux, "Modern Warfare 2" décroche également le titre du jeu le plus piraté.
 
"Avatar" ou le futur des salles obscures ?
La 3D, avenir du septième art ? Au terme d'une année marquée par une fréquentation record des salles de cinéma aux Etats-Unis - et en France -, le cinéaste vedette d’Hollywood James Cameron parvient à imposer son magistral "Avatar" en haut du box-office américain. Le film est, au passage, le plus cher de tous les temps (500 millions de dollars).
 
On a bombardé la Lune…
Le 9 octobre, la Nasa, l’agence spatiale américaine, a fait percuter la surface de la Lune par l’une de ses sondes, révélant ainsi la présence importante d’eau sous forme de glace sur l’unique satellite naturelle de la Terre. Une découverte majeure qui pourrait jouer en faveur de l’implantation d’une base lunaire américaine dans les prochaines années.
 
Plus petits, plus rapides et moins chers
Les Netbooks, ces mini-ordinateurs portables, ont connu le succès en 2009 avec plus de 33 millions d’unités vendues. Avec un prix moyen se situant autour de 400 euros l’unité, le marché du Netbook a su profiter de la crise financière et affiche une croissance de 72 % par rapport à l’année 2008, contre seulement 5 % pour les ordinateurs portables classiques durant la même période.

> THE expectations are high and hopes rising to roof tops as industry experts look forward to 2010 as the year, business would move faster, people keep in touch more with e-mail than ever before and events across the world are accessed and downloads completed in seconds as broadband assures high speed internet connection.
> 
> People who use the Internet for chatting and downloading songs are counting on a high-speed connection for the ultimate in convenience and ease without being kicked offline for periods of time.
> 
> According to Broadbandinfo.com, when you sign up for a high-speed Internet connection, you put an end to; waiting minutes for simple downloads, the frustration of being kicked offline due to server overload.
> 
> Also with a high-speed connection, you'll have; the fastest downloads, a smoother running office or business, an "always on" connection and a quick access to the information you need and want.
> 
> A high-speed connection will enable you to be online all the time, which means no more annoying dial-up wait time. You can count on the reliability and efficiency of high-speed Internet in your own home and office.
> 
> For second national carrier, Globacom, Saturday, September 5, 2009 was the day its long-awaited submarine cable dubbed Glo 1 landed on the shore of Alfa Beach in Lagos
> 
> Speaking at the reception ceremonies, the Group Executive Director, Globacom, Mr. Paddy Adenuga, said Glo 1 cable will deliver transmission capacity that would radically change Nigeria and Africa's economic landscape by providing unprecedented high speed internet services and make telecom services much faster, more reliable and cheaper for consumers.
> 
> Mr. Adenuga said Glo-1's current and ultimate capacity is enough to cater for the required broadband need of Nigeria for the next 15 to 20 years.
> 
> "With Glo-1, Globacom has taken a huge leap to avail Africa the magical possibilities of broadband. Glo-1 submarine cable connects West Africa to the UK and has landing points in Lagos and Bonny in Nigeria, Bude in London and Lisbon in Portugal. Glo 1 is also deploying 16 branching units to connect countries in West Africa," he said.
> 
> NITEL's SAT 3, was the only active submarine cable available to West Africa, before Glo 1 with MainOne cable coming later in 2009
> 
> Speaking recently in Lagos on the implications of these developments on the nation, the President, Association of Telecommunication Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), Dr. Emmanuel Ekuwem called on all stakeholders to be prepared for the explosion that will come with broadband penetration in the country from the second half of 2010.
> 
> "Are we ready to take advantage of that, are we ready to be part of that revolution. We as a people, we in government, health, education, hospitality industry, hair-dressers, and fashion designers would be part of this industry. Already we have been carried away by the success of narrow band, voice, but with broadband coming we have not seen anything yet. When broadband comes in the later part of next year, I tell you this country will be second to none, but are we ready?, he said enthusiastically.
> 
> Speaking also in the same vein, president Nigeria Internet Group (NIG), Mr. Lanre Ajayi said broadband will bring about accelerated economic growth and that the expected explosion that is expected with it will boast e-Business, Internet Technology driven business and will be a catalyst to accelerated economic growth in the country.
> 
> "We cannot hope to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MSGs) and the vision 20:2020 without driving the economy with technology particularly with information and communications technologies (ICTs)," he said.
> 
> Ajayi said with recent developments in the Nigerian ICT sector, the nation looks set to join the rest of the world in driving its economy with e-Business.
> 
> He stated that the NIG is excited about these developments.
> 
> "The main concern of NIG is therefore no longer about internet access. Our concern today is about what to do with the access.
> 
> "We are confident that the internet will soon be available in Nigeria and its ubiquity, we therefore encourage Nigerians to seize this opportunity to deploy various internet application services, ranging from e-Business to e-Government, from e-Learning to e-Health and particularly for business process outsourcing which is capable of generating not only employment opportunities but enormous foreign exchange for the country," he said
> 
> At present, bandwidth providers are retailing bandwidth they procure in bulk, which invariably is very expensive. Glo 1 and Main One couple with SAT 3 it expected would fill this vacuum and will narrow the digital divide between Nigeria, Africa and the rest of the world.
> 
> Speaking on his expectation for 2010 a Professor of Information Technology and Communication and retired General Manager, operations, Nigeria Telecommunications Limited (NITEL) Joseph Ofulue, while calling for a national internet gateway said availability of Broadband Internet would be a boost next year.
> 
> Although there are skepticisms in certain quarters on the sincerity of these operators as some are quick to ask why the operations did not begin as promised this year.
> 
> Speaking recently at a public forum, Mr Jude Offor (not real names) said the operators have simply taken the nation for a ride, wondering why no official of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) as regulators was invited to the landing of the cables.
> 
> Easily the greatest worry of stakeholders has been the preparedness of the nation, content-wise, for the explosion that will come with these developments.
> 
> They have expressed concern that at present internet users in the country only download without contributing anything by way of uploading contents.
> 
> They also called for the part Nigerians to begin
> 
> As the nation looks forward to an anticipated explosion of broadband penetration, the question that comes to mind is; will 2010 be the year or will be goalpost be further shifted? Your guess is as good as mine.
