What is the connection between the two, you probably have asked.
To some degree, there may be a correlation between how fast the internet has encroached our way of living and doing business, and with how and where our economy is headed.
When Alexander Graham Bell made the first call on his new invention, a.k.a. the phone, it awaken the civilization into the possibility of communicating through the wires. With that, the industrial revolution was hastened, commerce grew exponentially, and connecting with other people has been made convenient and easier.
Then the mobile phone came in –you know the rest of the story.
Now, satellite internet. With a cellphone, you can call anyone, anywhere. With a GPS, you will never be lost. Now, with wild blue satellite internet, you can virtually access the wealth of information over the net that is actually perpetually growing every second. The likes of Wild Blue, have enabled internet access possible anywhere and even the in the remotest locations.
Ironically, with this technological breakthrough, we have driven our economy backwards. I am undecided whether this is a simple oversight or an utter neglect on our part. With the advancement of technology and the availability of information, these would have made us better stewards of our resources. But unfortunately, we were not.
