Has the Internet revolutionized life as we know it?

Growing up, we had no internet and no computer but now children take both of these things for granted. Though I'm sure the internet wasn't just invented in the past ten years. There's almost no one around that doesn't use the internet now for some reason. When was the birth of the Internet and how have things changed online over the past years since everyone started using it, in terms of culture, economy, webmastery? And even, how are you handling the internet different now than when you first went online?

Well the Internet has actually been around since the 70's but back then it wasn't really an Internet and was more of an Intranet. It was created by a university to connect with other universities so they could share information with each other and it grew from there. Much like how Facebook was only first created for Mark's university students to see information about other students and then grew from there. As for how I'm handling it, I'm pretty much still doing the same thing I did when I first got broadband only minus all the music and movie downloads! These days though I use the Internet more for business reasons that I do personal ones. The good thing about the Internet today is that more people have it which means more people can learn and get educated on stuff, information is shared much more quicker than before and Internet speeds are getting faster as well. They are working on something now that will give speeds up to 50x faster than fibre optic. Imagine being able to download a 100GB file in less than 2 seconds! That's the way it's going to be. It will be the end of the games, movie and music industry that relies on CD and DVD sales as everything will be streamed on the Internet at insane break neck speeds. Lag? What lag? Lag will be a thing of the past!

In the beginning it was only a matter of doing some research for me as I was at University. It was at the beginning then, and I am talking in the early 2000s. Since then it has changed radically. Connections are undoubtedly better and this has also led to more stability when one tries to browse or download something. The number of websites has increased dramatically of course and this has in turn led to the importance of SEO techniques to try to rank as much as possible among the thousands of other sites who are offering the same things. Working online has also increased dramatically, especially in the past 10 years. The internet has indeed revolutionized everything.

Definitely, the internet had drastically changed our way of life particularly the social aspects. Where before we use the postal mail and the greeting cards, there is now the email and the chat features of the social media. And speaking of social media, you get connected to your friends and relatives in a very convenient way. I cannot say if it is a vast improvement of life but definitely, it is now more comfortable because of the provisions that we get from the internet.
