The State of The Internet

Did you know the origins of the internet have been around since the late 50s and 60s?  It was first used by the government in projects of its military agencies to build robust, fault-tolerant and distributed computer networks.

How much has the internet affected our culture since its public release in 1994?  Think about how much time you spend on facebook, twitter, surfing, paying bills, surfing and checking email alone. Its growth supersedes astounding.

About Kevin Beers

wanna see what I'm up to - twitter.com/kevinbeers Why do I blog? - Because I love my church but can’t personally connect to everyone who calls me ‘pastor’. The people and students at WCH/The Hub deserve everything I’ve got. This is one more way to give it. - Because ministry, life and leadership are better when learning is shared. - Because I’d rather offer my journey than just give my conclusions. - Because I need to practice being generous, not just with my money, but with my heart, too. - Because the Church/Kingdom/World is better when many voices are shaping the conversation it is having.

  1. I watched this, I always find statistics on the state of our information age astounding and awe-inspiring. It’s cool to think of the social engineering and unintended consequence of the information highway.

    I watched it without realizing my speakers were muted, but I think it’s better that way.
