Internet Evolution

Over the past five years, the way we access the internet has changed dramatically. Gone are those ever-present AOL and EarthLink discs in the mail. Remember these:

Dial-up has been replaced by DSL, satellite and FiOS. Gmail by invite-only is a thing of the past. There are blogs, and online communities, and social media that bring people who would never meet otherwise. Employers, grandparents, and the Queen are on Facebook. Home phone service? No longer needed, thanks to Skype and ooVoo. I find the constant evolution a bit scary, but am looking forward to newer, faster access and interaction.
