Thankful for Internet and the Computer

11.01.2007 by savvysuzy

The “internet” — you can either love, hate or be in between, but you can’t ignore it. It’s a force to be reckoned with. It’s got negative and positive attributes, like everything else, but it’s a growing revolutionary phenomenon that is just in the infancy stage.


Thanks to, www.technologyreview.com.

This “baby” is still crawling. What will it do when it learns to walk?!! It’s hard to imagine what it will become and where it will go, but this being my ‘ThankFest: Open House’ month, I decided to pay homage to it.

It and the “computer” are things that I am very thankful about. They have helped me to launch this site and do numerous other things that were more difficult in the past. Plus the access to all this information and connectivity to the world is just “priceless”.

So I did some digging and came up with a little “backstory” on the “net”:

History on the “World Wide Web

Pioneers
