At the end of 2004, it appeared the home networking phenomenon was bypassing Europe. Penetration rates were far behind North America and Asia, and only a few households (less than 5 percent) were interested in a home network. Broadband adoption was likewise lackluster. In many of Europe's leading markets, just one-fifth of all households had high-speed access, and without broadband, home networks are of limited utility...

"It's an interesting idea, and the idea is compelling enough that a lot of people have tried it, but it never really seems to find a fit with consumers," John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates, told TechNewsWorld The problem is that e-books do not make for a be...
Gaming PCs that have been around for a several years are a very good example of a successful PC customization and software integration, John Barrett, a Parks Associates analyst, told TechNewsWorld. They also point to an effort by the industry to take advantage of the power in today's computers...
While MySpace TV hosts a number of original Web series, this foray into original scripted episodes marks the first time that the social network has co-developed a series. With serialized content of all lengths available, the line between traditional TV and Web-based content has become blurry, said John Barrett, a Parks Associates analyst. Right now there is a lot of experimentation going on among the social networks...
Indeed, social networks in general and MySpace in particular are increasingly becoming a communications medium, added John Barrett, director of research with Parks Associates. "I think social networks are the dial tone for the next generation. People plug in when they want to, they exchange messages openly or privately, and then they unplug again. Adding voice to that is a really smart move."
Social networking and social media in general allows for a more engaging experience, said John Barrett, an analyst at Parks Associates, and some consumers want that "If you leverage that in the right way, you can make the service you offer better for everyone by coming up with...
In his new book, "The Cult of the Amateur," Andrew Keen publicly and pugnaciously says many of the things people were quietly thinking about Web 2.0. He refers to bloggers as a "pajama army" wreaking cultural havoc from their parents' basements ...

Indeed, "it's very clear to everybody that right now the deck is being reshuffled," added Parks Director of Research John Barrett. "Everyone wants to work out a deal in their favor, because once the agreements are made, inertia could carry them forward for decades." A Break fo...
"The analogy I like to use is that CDs are like paper," John Barrett, director of research for Parks Associates, told TechNewsWorld. "When office automation began, everyone started talking about the promise of the paperless office, but that just hasn't happened." Consumers hav...
In 1998, Napster took college campuses by storm and quickly ushered in an era where anyone could download any song they wanted without paying for it. The record labels were caught off guard and spent years debating the best way to respond ...
This year's Internet subscription figures are actually better than last year's, according to Parks' Director of Research John Barrett. "This time around, 29 percent said they don't have it and they're not interested," he told TechNewsWorld. "The previous year, that was about 34 percent."
The policy switch could also be a response to Google's tussle in 2006 with the U.S. Department of Justice, John Barrett, research director at Parks Associates, told TechNewsWorld. Google refused to comply with a government subpoena demanding random data on some Web searches and Web sites it indexes. Google Cofounder and President, Sergey Brin said that it was their "obligation to use the law to the farthest possible means to protect our users' privacy."
