From the development of the ARPANET in the late 1960s to the first email, the launch of AOL, and the beginning of the World Wide Web, the internet has had many major changes that were pivotal to the creation of the internet we see today.
Let's take a deep dive into the challenges and triumphs that laid the foundation for the online world as we know it!
2010 marked the beginning of the modern internet. Today, Social media, smart technologies, and e-commerce have transformed the digital landscape. COVID-19 has too, with remote work and online education and socialization on the rise.
Society has shifted profoundly thanks to the internet, and it now has its share of champions and critics, but one thing's for sure - it's here to stay.
What can we expect from the internet of tomorrow? 🤔 Perhaps an improvement in the recurring issues we find in the internet of today.
I expect a major shift to more wholesome, value-based, and authentic online experiences, where users have more control over their focus, values, health and habits.
There are many recurring issues about ethics and morality online. Parents and youth have concerns over the ethics of privacy and data security online, as well as the sea of misinformation and aggressive and predatory behavior.
It is our responsibility to find solutions to these problems, and introduce healthier online systems that produce healthier outcomes.
