The Internet through the ages.

Working in the realm of the internet never ceases to amaze me. Daily we are faced with changes to an interface, a browser or just buttons that change - and this frustrates even the high level users out there. So what about the people out there who deem themselves "Technophobes"? 

My mother is a self professed "Technophobe" which amazes me to no end as she has achieved some pretty amazing stuff in her life. Ask her to hunt down a puff-adder with nothing more than a pick axe and a paper bag and she is on it. But downloading a program and installing it on the new laptop that some sales guy suckered her into buying - whoa now. That is a little too much to ask. 

So I thought that we could take a little look at how technology has advanced through the ages. In 1969 the internet was the future of shopping, in 1981 it was going to be the way to access news and 1993 resulted in a revolution that involved internet to be pronounced as in-turr-nett. 

So with no further ado - a little light entertainment follows:

1969 and Fingertip Shopping

Little did they know in those days just how internet shopping would take off. And imagine being able to communicate with people all over the world in written form!

Sitting drinking your coffee in the morning and reading the paper on a computer - far fetched!

Now take it even further and add images, comics and pictures in. Then put it on a personal computer that is the size of a piece of paper. 

The implications of where we come from on where we are headed are mind boggling. A mere 32 years ago the thought of reading Newspapers over the internet was a revelation - and owning a Personal Computer was something that got you onto the news. 

Fast forward to today - and let's see what the world is using the power of the internet for. One of the most amazing (and my personal favourite) is the creation and development of Google Glass. If you do not know about it you are in for a treat. If you are one of those people who are afraid of tech taking over - rather don't watch it. Sarah Connor would have killed for this tech while battling the Terminators. Although Skynet probably would have created it...

And for those of us who say all of that is not possible - you are right, but it is coming along in leaps and bounds......

So keep an eye open for when Google Glass hits our shores - I for one am dying to get my hands on one of these.
