Internet Turns 35
The Internet and I are both in our thirties. The Internet started in 1969, I was born in 1968; yes, there were computers back then. The Internet and I grew up together. The Internet was a quite kid much as I was. We bother learned to get around, talk, and what to call stuff in the 70’s. In the 80’s, we were teen’s discovered counter-culture and music and spent most of our time in school. In the early 90’s, be made the big steps that a young person does in there 20’s. We found jobs to do for corporations about the same time. At first, we did fun stuff, but did not really do anything memorable. Then things exploded, our live started to grow, we collected more stuff, we found things we did well, we became focused, and we learn a lot about ourselves. We turned 30 and as we did, we became more comfortable with who we were.
Today the Internet is a complex 35 year-old that has changed the world it lives in. Me, well I am an interesting 36 year-old who is pleasant company. I am happy with how both of us has aged.
