The Internet is the most revolutionary development since ....
Hmmmm
Electricity?
The wheel?
And like those other revolutions, there will be some victims. Welcome to victimhood NYC.
I rank the internet as the most recent evolution of communications that affected business/information/culture in revolutionary ways.
Printing Press > Telegraph > Telephone > Wireless/Radio > Television > Internet.
There was a 300+ year gap between the printing press and the Telegraph and a 40 year gap between the Telegraph and the Telephone, A 20 year gap between the Phone and the Radio, a 30 year gap between Radio and Television and a 60 year gap between TV and Internet.
I’m guessing something else will come along in the next 20-30 years that will be of the same revolutionary caliber as the above mentioned.
