Internet History Paragraphs

In 2004 a student at Harvard University opened Facebook. Facebook is a webpage, where people can chat with each other, put pictures, or anything they want to share about their life. This is an innovation for the world, because if you have friends that are on the other side of the world, you can leave them messages as notifications, and they can answer you back even though you are not online. This may sound a lot like MSN or AOL, but it is different, because many people don’t check their mail so often, but they check their Facebook every day. People in the range of 12 to 30 years prefer using Facebook rather than a common mail, because everybody is online most of their day if they are not at school or at work, so it is easier to contact a person if you really need them.

In 1995 Amazon.com opens up. Amazon.com, is a web page, that is online shopping, this is a great web page, because if you really need something that is from another country, you can order it by Amazon. People like Amazon, because they can find everything much cheaper than for what they can find them in their own country if it is not USA. Even USA citizens like to use Amazon, because it delivers straight home or to their work, and they don’t need to go out to buy it, and it is easier to do it that way, so they don’t need to do a one our line so they can buy something that they can but in just 10 minutes at Amazon.com.

In 2008 Apple released the iPhone, giving the opportunity to the people around the world to have something small with a wireless. This is an important step in technology, because we are able to have wireless in iPods or our own phones. The iPhone has competition now, because the release of the Blackberry. The Blackberry doesn’t need to be around a wireless so it can connect to the internet, on the other hand iPhones, need to have a wireless around so they can connect to the internet. Obviously people that work prefer having a BB than an iPhone, because if they need to work they can work on their BBs. iPhones are really great, because of they have a big screen, and they are touch, and they are at the same time iPods, so you don’t need to have a phone separately from your IPod.
