The internet has evolved greatly since its inception and now plays an integral role in consumers' everyday lives. It has given both consumers and businesses more freedom to access and share products and information. While there are some negatives like privacy and security concerns, the benefits of the internet outweigh these, as it allows easy research, communication, and online shopping. As technology continues advancing, the internet will likely influence consumers and businesses even more in the future.

The document discusses the evolution of the internet and how consumers use technology. It notes that while the internet first connected government departments and researchers in the 1960s, it has now evolved into a single interconnected world with over half the global population online. Key developments in the internet's recent evolution mentioned include the acceleration of mobile device usage, the rise of social media, and rising rates of online video consumption. The internet has profoundly shaped everyday life by becoming the center of how people work, socialize, shop and entertain themselves.

How and where did the internet start? Digital Devices used to surf the Internet? What advancements are there in Technology?

The evolution of the internet has transformed how consumers use technology and access information. Over the past few decades, internet access has grown exponentially from 0.04% of the world in 1995 to billions of users today accessing the internet through various digital devices like mobile phones, laptops, and tablets. This widespread access has changed consumer behaviors by enabling people to research products online through search engines before making purchases. It has also increased online video consumption and online shopping, where consumers can now purchase almost any item over the internet. As technology continues to advance, it will drive even more changes to consumer trends and a more digital-centric lifestyle.

Keynote address at the WCIT 2014 The Evolution of the Internet Robert Kahn, co-father of the Internet

Since the first internet connection in 1969, digital marketing has evolved significantly. As internet access expanded from 1% of the world in 1995 to over 3.8 billion users today, consumers began using various digital devices like smartphones and tablets to access the internet from anywhere. This led businesses to utilize online video marketing, search tools, and social media to reach consumers who increasingly search, learn, shop, and watch content online. The rise of e-commerce and mobile access further changed consumer trends and marketing strategies, shaping the current digital landscape.

- Over half the global population is now connected to the internet, primarily using smartphones, desktops, and tablets. Most appliances and devices people use daily are now digital. - People rely heavily on search engines like Google to find information online. Nearly half of all purchases are made online across various product categories. - Online video consumption has also increased drastically, with people spending more time watching various content on mobile devices. Social media influencers have a growing impact on consumer purchasing decisions.

The document summarizes a seminar on mobile media trends. It finds that 33% of mobile users in the UK browse, use apps or download content. Mobile media usage is growing 17% year-over-year. Younger users are more likely to engage with social networking, music and video on mobile, while older users prefer information and news apps. The top 6 mobile devices represent 15% of users, with long tail of over 600 devices total. Mobile internet and app usage is booming, led by news, social media and local information apps. 46% of mobile owners receive SMS ads, and mobile banner ads are growing beyond mobile sectors.

Out of the cities analyzed, only Copenhagen and Oslo have a 90% probability of achieving download speeds of at least 1 Mbps, which is sufficient for many app types. In other cities like Shanghai, Jakarta, and Delhi, 90% probable speeds are less than 100 Kbps, insufficient for activities like video streaming. While voice coverage is generally sufficient worldwide, app coverage varies significantly between cities, with adequate coverage for music streaming lacking in some and video calling in even fewer. User satisfaction with internet connectivity lags behind voice outside of homes and workplaces.

This document provides an outline for an assignment on digital technology and its impact on consumer behavior. It discusses several topics, including access to the internet via different devices, how consumers search for and purchase products online, trends in online video consumption, and how consumer technology usage has changed in recent years. The introduction frames how digital technology has radically changed consumer and business lives worldwide by increasing access to the internet through various affordable devices.

Wave 2 - Mobility showed how social media moved from being a text-based medium of bloggers and posters to a fully audio visual one full of content creators and sharers. Find the latest Wave, "Wave 7 - Cracking the Social Code" here http://www.slideshare.net/Wave7

This document discusses the evolution of technology and access to the internet over time. It begins by describing how the internet was originally developed for data transmission between US government computers in the 1960s. Standards were established in 1983 allowing different networks to connect as a "whole" internet. Access expanded dramatically in the following decades as personal computers and mobile devices became more widespread and affordable. Today over 4.5 billion people use the internet for activities like online shopping, social media, and streaming videos. However, barriers still exist for some due to costs, remote locations, literacy levels, and lack of relevant content in their languages.

Google's strategy is to provide the best user experience through fast and clutter-free search, pioneering new technologies, and making Android free to developers. It aims to generate revenue without sacrificing the user. Google recognizes its global impact through offices in over 60 countries and interfaces in 130+ languages. It sees employees as valuable people and values ideas from anywhere.

The document summarizes key milestones and statistics in the evolution of mobile technology from 1947 to the present. Some of the highlights include: the first transistor was invented in 1947; the first mobile phone call was made in 1973; the first commercial cellular network launched in 1979; and the iPhone was released in 2007 and sold 1 million devices within 74 days. Globally, there are now over 7 billion mobile phones with over 1.5 billion being smartphones, and mobile data usage is growing exponentially with 11.2 exabytes per month projected by 2017.

Mobile technologies are increasingly prevalent. Smartphone ownership is growing rapidly and surpassing feature phone ownership. People now spend more time on their smartphones each day than with their partners. Wireless data traffic is also exploding, growing 20,000% over 5 years for one major carrier and expected to increase 13-fold globally by 2017. However, mobile users are not always in a rush - many are willing to engage in longer sessions for various tasks using their smartphones. Effective mobile strategies focus on providing core services across all devices rather than dumbing things down for mobile.

Web performance optimisation has been gaining ground and is slowly getting more of its deserved recognition. Nevertheless, much of our time on the web is still used up by waiting. To decrease our wait time and improve the web’s overall performance, this integral part of user experience needs further promotion. Waiting and the perception of time itself, is reason enough to explore some of the psychological effects time has on our users, too. Passing time also plays a big role in the evolution of technologies. Through the history of HTTP we have reached the latest version as HTTP/2, which will turn some of our existing web performance best practices on their head and into the new anti-patterns of today.

Web performance optimisation has been gaining ground and is slowly getting more of its deserved recognition. Now that we’ve learned to recognise this integral part of user experience and are approaching HTTP/2 as our new protocol of choice, some of our existing web performance best practices will turn into the new anti-patterns.
