The Internet:: A Frontier for Everyone to Conquer

When the internet was first conceptualized and created in the 1960's, I don't think that anyone could have predicted that one day, it would be so popular and widespread, that even people as prestigious as the President of the United States would use it. Originally started primarily for sharing information with other researchers, as technology allowed for more accessibility and ease of use, computers began to explode in popularity. Computers went from being machines costing in the tens of thousands of dollars to get a low end one, to being almost a household item. Recently, in the 2012 presidential election year, Barack Obama posted on popular website reddit, which I thought was a very very interesting trend. The internet has become so popular, that even campaigning for the office of president has started to take place on it. As the years have gone on, more and more people have embraced the internet, and all I can see is it becoming more and more integrated with the world, and I hope that everybody is ready.
