It’s official: Web services technology has gone mainstream. The technology — which consists mainly of software designed to let business systems communicate with each other across the Internet without human intervention — is already making a huge impact on how companies share information and conduct business online. In December of last year, 52 percent of North American IT executives responding to a Forrester study said they either had a Web services project in production or were rolling one out.
If everyone in the world were to learn the international language (Esperanto) in addition to his own native language, maybe everyone's improved ability to communicate would lead to peace and understanding, as Zamenhof hoped. What is certainly true is that the complicated task of maintaining web pages in multiple languages would be reduced to the simpler and less expensive task of maintaining them in only one language. And everyone would be able to read every page.
