The Human civilization has come up with many kinds of technologies to make life easier. These technologies evolved to accommodate th ever-changing needs of humans. The wheels for example changed from solid wood blocks to the steel and rubber tyres we use today for our cars. This evolution however took a long time, CENTURIES to complete and even today, new and improved ways of making the perfect kind of wheel for our trains, planes and cars are developed everyday.
The Internet however, is a very recent tool in the Human toolkit. It has just passed it 40th birthday a year ago. I feel it is safe to say that nothing has evolved as fast as the internet has. Before our own eyes, we have seen the Internet changing from official use to public use.
Even in the past fifteen years or so, it has completely reinvented itself; arguably several times. Now we not only shop, bank, work and meet people online; but we share what we are doing at any given moment (e.g. Twitter), and even keep statistics on daily minutia. We read, listen and watch everything. We Digg, rate, share and favorite content daily. So what’s next?
Here's a video of Google's view on the Internet of Tomorrow:
I know, not as interesting as the videos showed in class by Mr. Choy! So, how about this video?
I know that this video has been shared in class, but I thought that it is an apt and precise video which is interesting as well! Hope you enjoyed it!
