Life Before and After Internet

Before internet- computers were glorified word processors, not much storage capacity, etc.

Coming of the internet- the evolution and impact
If we come to analyze the impact of internet on our lives to how facebook, twitter, IMs, RSS feeds have became an indispensable part of our lives and yes, blogging :) ..which is a mode of social expression for some.. :)
we realize that the web has become an indispensable part of our eco system, it is all pervasive.. today, we are 'growing up online'

it has affected the modes of communication, the way one searches for their resources, our expectations and offcourse our patience...!!

Life after the internet
i remember my first stint with digital multitasking dates back to around 9 yrs..vaguely, 2000..when i could use the same time span to do instant chat with 3-4 people online
and thus, i set up the internet skills for a bigger internet experience with each passing year..
during college and post graduation, it offered me the largest pool of resources..
with the evolution, we have social networking sites wherein I can check the updates in my friend's lives, invite them for events hence, loosing the sheen to call them up and find out 'what's happening'?
we are using e-learning tools like moodle to learn a new language..!!!
On hindsight, we find it easier to 'manage' digital text..as it is flexible and fast (assignments can get completed last minute too..)

Internet is impacting global business: you get paid to write e-books, buyers buy and pay online, internet has infilterated in our lives so much that we are focusing our lives and business on web based models..but a thought, does it not affect the way we would be employed..
businesses need to be there when it counts.. information has to be transformed into a digital format is an obvious conclusion

interesting fact, when one makes an e-product you never run out of supply..!!

Particularly, in the case of India..
it is interesting to look at how different countries and cultures use the internet..1/5th of the earth population..2/3rd of the country's population is in abject poverty..but the internet affects everyone from top-bottom..
