Now we are doing the same thing for hosting services. For the average consumer, the Internet has changed from something they may have heard of, maybe not, to something they depend on for their lives and expect others to as well. For example, kids expect instant messaging and they expect to be able to look something up on the web. People expect you to have an email address. Parents expect to be able to print out directions to their child s classmate s birthday party.
Travelers expect to be able to check out a hotel or flight prices online.
All sorts of individuals are expecting more and depending on the Internet in all it s different ways - from email to the Web. Not only has the Internet already replaced the use of a lot of other types of communication, it has enhanced communication so that you can a lot of people at the same time. The actual transmission and a lot of communication is going to be done through the Internet. Photographs are going to circulate much more through this medium and we are going to get a lot more mileage out of our photographs and sharing our lives. A picture is worth 1,000 words - and why write 1,000 words when you can send a photograph or post it to the Web.
