How the Internet Changed the Planet

Simply put - the Internet changed everything

Simply put - the Internet changed everything. Consider for a moment that - Google is still only a "teenager"; that 50 years ago the computer you are working on right now, would have been the size of a building; that in 20 years time it will fit on the top of a pin.

The internet has revolutionized many industries; take for example the news media. News stories now break and spread like wildfire online, reaching all corners of the globe in mere minutes.

This swift information transfer allows for organizations like Reuters to quickly pick up a story, which is subsequently blasted out all over the world by the various news networks. The essence of this lies in the fact that, the Internet is quite fluid and instant by its very nature.

Traditional media are finding it hard to compete, since they are typically much slower and are always playing catch up. Therefore the only viable option is to embrace the internet, and to amalgamate it as part of an overall strategy, so that the result is a much improved service for the customer.

We have seen a major decline in traditional media. with people now watching TV episodes online, listening to live radio online, reading newspapers & magazines online etc.

In the print world print circulation is at its lowest levels ever, while online readership is growing dramatically. There has been a huge shift, whereby bloggers are now more influential, and have more relevance, than perhaps newspaper and magazine editors.

The internet changed the way we look at education forever. No longer do you have to be physically present in a class room environment to learn. With online study courses providing material, video tutorials, student forums, real-time access to support, webinars etc all our education needs can now be met from the comfort of our home.

It has completely revolutionised the world of entertainment. Every aspect of this highly lucrative industry from music, film, TV, book publishers, to gaming has had to re-evaluate their traditional business model. Gone with CD's, books, and Monopoly in with iPods, Kindles, and Wii's!

Geography, age, income levels are no longer a hindrance. The Internet views everyone as equal on the web, regardless of education, age, race, creed or sex. The internet changed the planet quite simply!
