It goes without saying that the internet has greatly revolutionised society, the way we live and interact with the world and each other. However, it’s hard to believe just how young the internet really is. It’s only just over 10 years ago we were starting to use high-speed broadband, instead of the annoyingly slow dial-up that ran at a snail’s pace. From desktops and smartphones to driver-less cars and Google Glass, almost anything can now be connected. The internet is one huge global network and plays an essential role in our day-to-day lives.
