Document Summary
Pull technology: user states a need before getting information as when a url is entered in a web browser so the user can go to a certain web site. A web server delivers information to users(who have signed up for this service) instead of waiting for users to request the information be sent to them. Delivers content to users automatically at set intervals or when a new event occurs. Application service providers(asp): provide access to software or service for a fee. Software as a service(saas)/on demand software: is a model for asp"s to deliver software to users for a fee, the software is for temporary or long term use. Users can save all application data on the asp"s server. Similar to outsourcing and less expensive, delivers information more quickly. Uses computer generated three dimensional images to create the illusion of interaction in a real world environment.
