How We Got Here From There

Internet begins mainly for government and education

Lots of text (Email, Newsgroups, & Bulletin Boards)

Unaffordable for the average user

How We Got Here from There

America Online Rules Friendly graphics and

good pricing brings AOL to the front of the pack

Email, Chatting and Instant Messaging gain popularity

How We Got Here From There

The GIF & JPEG file formats makes it possible for images to permeate the Internet

The Adult Entertainment Industry takes the Internet by storm (Go ahead, ask me why this is important)

How We Got Here From There

Broadband becomes widely available

Pictures grow into Videos

Tiny Sound Effects grow into MP3s and Streaming Audio

How Do I Find Great Stuff?

Search Engines:– Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Ask Jeeves

Tech Sites– ZDNet, CNET, Microsoft, Apple Computers

News Sites– MSNBC, CNN, Associated Press

HELP! Too Much Stuff!!!

Browsing to a lot of web sites takes a lot of time.

Is there any way to bring all this content to me?

Enter RSS Really Simple

Syndication

RSS to the Rescue
