Well, it is now 4 decades since the internet was first used. Who could have understood, in those early days, how massive it would end up in such a rather short period?

I recall, as a little child, thinking how fortunate were inventors like Alexander Graham Bell, being able to invent the telephone. Others had invented radio, television, camera. What was there remaining for those of my generation to invent? It is lucky for us others had more insight than I did. We now benefit from digital cameras, electronic games, pda’s and many other wonderful items which I could not have envisaged as a child.

On the fortieth anniversary of the internet, it is interesting to view the differences we have seen in the way PCs are used over this time. In the early days, there was no w3, so the internet was not the same as we think of today when we say we use it.

Not all businesses had use of PCs 40 years ago, never mind people having multiple computers in their home. Even as recently as the 1990’s the company where I worked had only one PC which would connect to the web and all members of staff had to rely on this in order to connect with the internet.

At that time, the idea of using a search engine was an alien concept. Now Search Engine Placement is understood, by both companies and individuals, to be an integral part of internet experience. Seo companies have evolved, in order to help businesses improve their search engine positioning.

Companies, likewise, will look for an seo company which they believe have the knowledge to better their Online Marketing abilities. They know how vital it is to be on one of the first pages of any search engine results in order to capture business and will pick an SEO Company which they consider will give them good results.

Due to the fact that laptops are now relatively inexpensive, quite a few houses will have more than one. They are compact, do not need dedicated studies, wires and cables, which look unsightly. Children find them useful for research for homework, using search engines to help in this, whereas others will use them to search for businesses which can give them the necessary information for reference purposes, or find businesses which will supply to their requirements.

Social networking sites have also found their niche, and this is a brilliant way for people to stay in contact with friends, relatives and colleagues in an informal manner. Before these emerged it was very easy to lose contact with others once they were no longer in their daily circle.

I am really pleased that other people can come up with inventions to improve my daily life, and this all makes me think about what we will be seeing 40 years from now – inventions at present in their infancy or not yet even conceived.
