It always ceases to amaze me that at the business end of 2009, nearly ten years after the narrow escape from the millennium bug, people frequently continue to refer to the Internet as this just-landed-from-space, unrecognisable, new thing that we should dare to consider a fabulous and exciting business opportunity (once we've let it bed down a bit, naturally).
When I tell those same people that I've spent my entire career (11 years and counting) delivering content online, it normally produces a tremendously baffled look - so I can't imagine how they'd feel if they found out that the Internet's genesis can be traced back a whopping 40 years to the development of Arpnet in 1969
Welcome to the future... It really is already here.
