It used to be that when one talks of being online one immediately thinks of airline reservations. This was the big application that validated a computerized online system. These days, one can book most anything from the Internet like, hotel reservations, enrolling in a school, buying things, shopping for anything. There is almost no limit to what one can do online. It used to be that books were the main thing you could buy online. Those days are gone. Everything is now available online, medicines, books, groceries, credit cards, online banking. One of the biggest successes of the Internet was selling of porn. When one talked of the Internet, one could not help but mention porn and how the Internet has made it so widely available. There is no more placing racy magazines in brown paper bags, one could just download materials in the privacy of one's home.

This has changed somewhat. Porn has slowly been replaced by social networking sites as the favorite destinations of a large number of Internet surfers. I guess after a while porn becomes boring and stale.

The Internet has changed people's lives in very dramatic ways. I watch the unrest in Myanmar (Burma) on television and am not surprised to learn that the world also sees the events unfolding there through the Internet. CNN was the pioneer of news television and made its world debut during the First Iraq War. This was a momentous event but today, the Internet performs a much more direct , up close and personal type of experience to the world.

I shall write about my observations on the Internet and the World Wide Web on these pages. I remember when having a modem was a really big deal. The problem involved having the capability to exchanged files between offices. So once, I had a modem installed to the serial port and it was a big problem to get the software to work. These days, the 300 bps modem has gone the way of  PC XT computers as more powerful models with router and firewall capabilities preview one after the other in a bid to become the standard.
