Instant Everything
Ten years ago, who would of thought that you could type a message and an "address" into something on your computer called an email composition box and click send, and your message immediately zaps to your desired recipient? |
I sure didn't imagine anything like that at all. We would joke about the Jetsons' lifestyle becoming a reality one day, but never thought we would be so far along in technology by the year 2000 that at the click of a mouse we could find instant everything, literally.
How the Internet Changed Everything
When I talked with local business owners a few years ago about starting an Internet site for our hometown, I did not receive much support. The business owners who did sign up for the site were mostly those who advertise all the time anyway. They thought it would be a great way to get their name "out there." The term "out there" is an understatement now.
Until recently, neither they nor I realized the potential of the Internet.
Why? Because we were very limited in our thinking, as many people are. We couldn't see beyond what the Internet was doing in our small town at that particular time - which was very little.
Potential of the Internet
The potential of the Internet is astronomical. Whether a person would like to share personal ideas with others or start a home business, the Internet opens the door to both. The Internet provides information, resources, humor, contact with others in the world, news, and an extraordinary avenue for business transactions.
There are so many Websites on the Internet now that when you search for certain terms through search engines, some terms bring millions of results. But don't get discouraged because this simply means that there are millions of people out there for you to target with your personal or business site.
Your Internet Needs
You have three basic needs for your very own Website that the Internet provides at no charge.
1. Tons of resources and information to build relevent content for your Website.
2. Sources for free tips on how to improve and promote your Website.
3. Access to millions of people and a variety of avenues to reach those people.
