Technology certainly advanced quickly in the last few decades. Whereas the internet was nearly useless only fifteen years ago, nearly every person in America uses it their everyday lives. I'm not sure that anyone could have predicted what they were inventing when they first started networking military computers, but it certainly has changed the world. What would life be like today without the internet? No online classes, no email, no facebook, no myspace. Many people would be lost. For some, browsing the internet and communication through the internet is their life, and without it they wouldn't know what to do. How much more so will it be in fifteen years, twenty years, fifty years from now? We may have stumbled into something that will become as necessary to every person as air-conditioning in Arizona.
