The Internet has been nothing short of life-changing. We, as a society, have had no choice but to become completely submerged by the effects of Internet access. Everything today is "Go online!" "Visit Our Website!" "Check Us Out At..." And we do it without even thinking.
The Internet is a giant web of computer networks communicating with one another all over the world. Believe it or not, the Internet was first discovered back in the 1960s. It was used for government and military purposes only.
The network known as the Internet Protocol Suite, or TCP/IP is what computers use to communicate with one another through the network. This is what allows us to access anything and everything with a high speed or wireless connection. Using the Internet is all about how fast we can access and process data.
The Internet's uses are endless. It is used for business communications, online entrepreneurships, education, shopping, streaming video and media, social networking, making phone calls, email, file sharing and transfers, storing information and data, and even chatting and blogging. By simply typing in an IP address or domain name, the world is at our fingertips.
The Internet is all around us. More and more Wi-Fi "hot spots" are popping up in cities and towns. Local coffee shops and restaurants, airports, and libraries all offer free Wi-Fi access to their customers and visitors. As time goes on, we will begin to see them more and more in other locations such as gyms, schools, and hospitals.
As the appearance and popularity of Wi-Fi hot spots and hand-held technologies continue to grow, it has become as easy as a press of a button to access the Internet. Some gadgets out there now don't even require a button; you can set notifications to alert you whenever a Wi-Fi signal in your area is available. Remember the days of accessing the Internet by using a phone line and sometimes waiting up to ten minutes for a dial-up connection? With high speed cable Internet and fiber optics now readily available, those days are long gone.
With the rise of the Internet and in technology, the two obviously go hand in hand and have made our lives significantly easier. However, the Internet and technology certainly aren't perfect. There are a number of glitches that still occur from time to time and can be nothing short of maddening. These glitches can be connection/connectivity problems, web pages with errors, or servers that have gone down and need troubleshooting or repair. Since most organizations' internal systems and email run on servers, when the system goes down, production completely comes to a halt.
The growth of technology and the Internet doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. The Internet and technology has yet to still change how we live and work. Perhaps in the future we won't have to go to work or school. Everything can be done from the comfort of our own homes with our own laptops. It is very easy for people to work from home today with external email and VPN access. Schools today also offer a number of courses online and education portals are becoming more and more popular. The future is now.
