I thought about computers and computer technology. It was really a whimsical thought.

Noting too deep or fancy. I just thought how much we came and how fast.

It is common knowledge that in the 1950s, a computer filling a Wal-Mart store had no idea of ​​the computing power and storage capacity of the modern smart phone.

At that time, the Internet had just started and the Web was not even a dream. I remember a newscast broadcast from 1980’s newly invented computer network. It took several hours and hundreds of dollars to transmit a newspaper from one computer to another. It was in 1980, you see. Barely 30 years ago.

Only 20 years ago, the Internet really began to take root. At least among geeks. And it looked like DOS (do you remember DOS?).

Just 10 years ago, it was long before Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. That’s when Google started. And Bill Gates called the Internet “a fad”. Right. Good call, Bill.

Although the Internet still does not replace the desktop for hosting applications and files, it manages web pages with effects and speeds similar to those of applications. And how many files are hosted online as backups?

Indeed, the traffic on the smart device Internet is much more important than on the searchable Web.

Think Xbox Live. Think Smartphone texting. Or streaming Netflix. Some components of these are accessible via a web browser, but the majority are not.

We are now considering the possibility of a much faster and more reliable Web 2.0. Not to mention the interface evolving towards the multi-touch and even brainwaves activated.
