The Internet is is turning the big 4-0. I cannot think of a single discovery, generation, human or earthly development that has impacted so significantly a majority of the world’s population. And yet many individuals, companies and organizations are not yet taking advantage of the wonderful tool. The World Wide Web–one of the Internet’s children you could say, about 20 years old, is much more than a marketing opportunity. Coupled with the Internet and many of the Internet’s other “children,” we are able to connect, make financial transactions, share files, access satellite imagery, read books, listen to radio and watch TV at our leisure, and even run the mechanical functions of our houses or entire industrial buildings off site! Like many people just turning 40, the Internet’s most productive days are surely ahead of it. If you have a chance in your office this week (Wednesday is the official day), why not teach your co-workers a bit of history by throwing a well-deserved afternoon break Birthday Party for the Internet.
