I actually learned all about what you've written about here in my communication in technology class last year. It was very interesting to find out the genesis of something that we take for granted today. I am an older student, or I was as I graduated this past Dec, but even at my age, I can't imagine not being able to click to wherever I want to find information. I love living in the 21st century!

Nice post. Thought provoking. In fact, I have a theory about this. It’s based on nothing more than my own thoughts but I will put it out there anyway.

The Internet’s impact on the 21st Century and beyond will be as profound as the steam engine’s was on the 19th and 20th Centuries.

The invention of the steam engine did more than revolutionize manufacturing. Actually, manufacturing didn’t exist, as we know it, before it’s invention. Factories lead to a manufacturing based economy, which impacted where people lived, the distribution of wealth/rise of the middle class and eventually the social laws we take for granted like the abolishing slavery, education for all, welfare, etc..

I believe that the internet will have an equally profound impact on our lives. We are already experiencing this. A small, but not insignificant example was how we learned of the the attacks in Mumbai. Within seconds the news was around the world via Twitter. Our economy is no longer location dependent, as a manufacturing economy is. Now the work goes where the talent is whether that’s India or Omaha.

We will see many changes like this in our lifetimes and many we can’t predict. I, for one, am looking forward to participating in all this change.
