The internet (or the world wide web) has become a global sensation involving 200 countries in it's daily use and has changed the way we communicate and share information with each-other. The internet has also transformed the way businesses are run. So much so that now modern organizations simply cannot exist without it.
Before the internet there were more formal (and slower) methods of postal services and fax machines transferring and receiving information from place to place, but thanks to the power of networking businesses can now almost keep in synchronized step with the economic world around them.
Search engines has made finding information about any and all topics very easy now, though that's not to say all the search results are of the same quality or will be as accurate. Since anybody can "share" information on the internet it's important to understand which are reliable, fact-based sources rather than just opinionated web posts.
Networking has also drastically evolved distance learning. Particularly E-learning with the heightened focus of improving online experience, making higher education possible for a larger audience of people throughout the world.

ReplyDeleteHi Gen, your summary this week was insightful. I like what you said in your second paragraph about how technology has dramatically improved more formal/slower methods such as postal service and fax machines. It's crazy to think how much technology has changed basic ways of doing things. Keep up the good work Gen.
