Technology is a dynamic facet of life. The invention of the first computer revolutionized the way information was handled and ciphered. A need arose to share information and networks were set up. What followed was the interconnection of these computer networks to enable sharing of data over long geographical distances. Communication was made faster, cheaper and more convenient, and the internet was born. A rapid proliferation of application software that controls the internet’s infrastructure followed to enable its success. This has had as obvious effect on the world culture in various aspects.
Communication, data storage and processing, are the areas that have seen the greatest change and have in turn had a remarkable impact on people’s lives the world over. E-mail, social networking sites, e-conferencing and instant messaging have increased the speed of communication and enabled audio-visual communication regardless of the temporal and spatial impositions. Sharing large amounts of data has lowered the resources once necessary to work with colleges in different time zones. Now people are more in touch with each other virtual than it may be possible physically. Older forms of communication such as post are being relegated to antiquity.
The flexibility allowed by internet use is changing the work environment and opening possibilities previously inconceivable. Workplaces are now found at the convenience of one’s home or local café. The internet has enabled people to work remotely by accessing the office files via Virtual Private Networks or through cloud computing. Communication with work mates is conducted through email or secure chat sessions. It is now possible to work from remote locations as long as internet connection is possible. Physical offices are not necessary to set up business as some entrepreneurs carry their offices where they go.
Content on the internet is free for viewership in most sites. This liberty has its detriments and some governments have responded by censoring the content available to their citizens. Elaborate circumvention has to be employed to bypass the software installed to filter the certain content and domains. Such restrictions are there to protect the citizens from content perceived as harmful to the cultural practices and beliefs of the society in question. Certain content is considered inappropriate for younger audiences for instance, but the freedoms and liberties of others prevent removal. This has been a source of contention.
Advancements made in the last century, and this one in technology, have transformed the way people around the world interact with each other as well as their culture. The internet in particular has diversified people’s interactions and opened them to possibilities that were previously unimaginable. The ease with which people communicate has changed several aspects of live, People’s perspectives concerning others in different areas and spheres of life has been broadened. Certain issues will remain controversial, but this just reveals a new façade of human thinking and ideology. Innovation and discovery of the myriad of capabilities of the internet continue to be unhatched. The field of artificial intelligence presents endless possibilities for this generation and the ones to come.
