If you belong to the slightly old generation and are aged around the 50s, you would recall the days when even for performing small functions like additions and subtractions, one had to use the manual adding and subtracting machine or had to do it manually. Booking a railway ticket or paying utility bills was also a big problem and almost a long drawn out ritual.
However all this has changed with the arrival of computers and of course the internet. Firstly, computers have changed the way we look at and live our day to day life. It has made things much simpler and easier for all of us. The internet has taken us a step further in our search for convenience, ease and speed. It has provided us a platform whereby sitting in the comfort of our drawing room, we can connect to the entire world. In one stroke of scientific genius, the constraints of time and distance have been removed.
It has brought the whole world much closer and as rightly said by many, it has converted the whole world into one small global village. Internet like all other technologies made a slow beginning and there were many hiccups, teething troubles and perceptional problems associated with this new technology. However, with the passage of time and with the development of new technologies like high speed broadband, Hot Spots, 3G connections, etc., the speed of communication over the internet has increased.
In today’s world, anyone running a business establishment however small would be doing a grave injustice if he does not have a computer, an internet connection and more importantly a website to help grow his business. Internet and computers have already become indispensable tools for mankind in their quest for a better life. Newer and more improved software versions and constant research and development activities that are taking place in the field of computing technology and internet connectivity, point only to one direction, upwards.
