The author states that the wed is dead when in all reality this statement has some truth to it which can be argues both ways. For the present generations and generations to come, the wed or the internet has become a thing of the past; or at least the web or internet when being accessed by a laptop and or desktop. This is because of the evolution of technology and the technological advancements that we have endured and still experience on an everyday basis. Dating back to the days where there was a dial tone in order to get onto America Online, or AIM, or even the break of Napster, where individuals where able to download and share music amongst each other. This was seen as an endless amount of freedom and capability for an individual to have access to all these supplements. We as a civilization thought we had reaches an unlimited amount of freedom with but the passing of time and technological advancements this has come to show us that sky’s the limit.
Having all these technological gadgets that have intrigued and mesmerized society today especially with the younger generations has truly shown us that the web or internet where we once accessed it from a desk at school or at home has become a thing of the past. People are now using their smart phones such as the popular Blackberry’s and iPhones. Blackberry’s are capable of searching the internet, accessing Facebook, Twitter and all these other social media networks as well as having their own BBM, which is an instant messaging consisting of other Blackberry users. As for Apple, they defiantly rule the market. With their ipods, iphones and now the ipad, they have defiantly taken these gadgets to another level. The iphone can do everything the BlackBerry can and even more. Offering the latest apps for the phone, the iphone is an imac in your hands. With their new face time, they can video chat with anyone whom has an iphone. What I am trying to say is that I do not need to wait to get home or have access to the school computers to roam the internet or message someone using the networking sites, but I can reach into my pocket, pull out my phone and update my twitter status just like that.
Google, Apple, and Facebook are the three top dog company’s that the author talks about. Apple has been around for a long time stemming back to the Macintosh computers and Macs, but they have taken their intentions to better off or better serve society with their unbelievable gadgets and services such as iTunes. Google has had dominance for a long time now where they control trafficking on the internet as well as services and sales. As for Facebook, this started off as a relatively small networking service only available to a specific college where students and communicate amongst each other. Facebook then exploded by reaching more than 100 million users in about a year. With their small steps they have truly changed how society interacts with one another and how they interact amongst Social Medias. These three companies are great at what they do and offer their best intentions to their users which make them very popular and powerful.
