We use technology everyday, even when we do no realize we are using it. Technology connects large communities by having many ways to contact people, get transportation and network.

Other phone companies and cable companies got in on the market and providing the internet to customers using new fiber optic cables that provided internet speed 100 times faster than the 56K speed previously provided. The new technology made life for many individuals easier however; in some cases it was devastating, as the development of new technologies, like answering systems, made certain positions obsolete; reducing the number of jobs available in some fields. In addition, the new technologies made further education regarding how to use these new devices or systems vital to not only employees but also to individuals who found themselves in need of employment. Companies developed machines that could replace the need for paid employees and could eliminate error; this is especially true in the car manufacturing industry.

Since Microsoft offers many programs that will be useful in organizing the business, and is usually included with new computer purchases, this is the software I recommend.

The invention of the internet has revolutionised the communication industry allowing for people to easily communicate to family and friends overseas through a variety of options. Some of these options are video calling such as Skype or instant messaging such as through Facebook. The whole communication industry has been directly or indirectly affected by the internet, with phone companies now offering low cost Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) phone calls and making cheaper bundles when you buy their internet services and their home phone services. The internet has not only helped people to easily keep in touch, it has also created a knowledge boom allowing people to access Billions of documents and resources at the touch of a button. Mobile phones have also allowed people to always keep in touch with people when they are out and about.

This idea, in the hands of researchers and scientists evolved even further allowing those researchers the capability to communicate with their colleagues at other universities. As personal computers became more popular and affordable, companies increasingly wanted to construct their own networks.

The software that allowed computers to communicate while on the Internet is still the largest category of traffic today. 2.
