The Age of the Internet

As the world grows and America develops, the need for a centralized base of all information is necessary thus the creation of the internet is perhaps the most influential in my life time. The internet centralizes all of this information but it also provides a meeting point for people around the world. Never have so many people been able to work, live, and play off of one invention.

Although initially expensive the internet and in turn computers are are an almost necessity and even citizens like myself of the lower middle class have fully functioning computers and internet. This is something that 10 or 15 years ago would have been irrational to think about and foolish.

The internet has come so far and it is scary in a sense to imagine where it could go next. With FaceBook and Skype where you can view your friends live, half way around the globe, the internet beholds great possibilities. I often times work from a computer and work on the internet and I have friends that meet with clients in Tokyo and have video conferences with partners in Prague. It is truly one of the most influential technological advances and where it goes from here nobody is sure. But one thing is known, the internet is here to stay for a long, long time.
