My Grandma's myspace Page

It amazes me the vast bridge between some individuals electronic/internet savvy. Some people can build websites, 'twitter' while they're on the bus, and spread new chunky pics of Jessica Simpson at a chili cook-off worldwide. Other members of society are either a) convinced they can and will never be up to speed with the WWW or b) are plain frightened of it. Either way, they are markedly inept when compared to their peers. As this new generation ages, and eventually becomes the main core of the workforce, an ability to search, find, create, manipulate, etc. any information available will no longer be a skill of the elite. It will turn into an expectation. Students and professionals alike will expect to have streaming video at their fingertips. They will expect all websites to be interactive and state-of-the-art. Any business out there that offers their services electronically (will be an expectation of everyone sooner than later) will need to be up to speed with all of this, lest they lose costumers or hits or whatever you want to call it, to their competitors. It will no longer be 'who has the best services to offer,' and it will turn into 'who has the services that are the easier/smoothest/coolest/quickest to access.'
