When I hopped on the 'net back in '91, there wasn't much of anything except
IRC, FTP, archie, gopher, telnet, and other such stuff. The only people
really online were computer savy peeps, or those with the potential to learn
to be rather quickly. The first computer I ever had access to the internet
on was a Sun Spark II running Sun OS 4.01 (I think). Definately not a low
learning curve.
Helped by the expansion of the 'web', think how far the Internet has come in
the past 10 years. It's become an integrated way of life for many people.
I say what we do, in a broad sense, is here to stay and definately not a bad
career choice. What we are seeing now is just a shakeout, as a predictable
aftermath of the hysteria of all of these companies, which are 'brand new'
to the Internet, trying to take advantage of it's potential as a new
business medium. This is probably no different than when radio was in its
infancy, or even T.V. They are both still around and so will be the
Internet in the many years to come. :)
