Turned 40
No, not me. That day has come and gone. I guess the internet turns 40 this year. So, 1969? was the first computer network. Twenty years later, the world wide web was launched. It's just amazing how far behind I've fallen, trying to keep up with technology. I'm surprised I still exist! My feelings concerning technology are not too different from Homer Simpson, when he said, "The internet? Is that thing still around?". I'm surprised it hasn't been replaced by newer technology by now. I have no clue what could replace such a resource as the internet, but for something in the field of technology to have a 40 year run is quite an accomplishment. This is obviously one of those subjects I know very little about, and feel quite uncomfortable talking about, because everyone who reads this knows more about the internet than I do. I wish it were something that interested me more, then I would be more inclined to research it. I guess it's best to leave the research and development to those who would be considered experts in the field, and I'll just sit back and wait until it becomes commonplace, and reap the benefits..... 20 years behind everyone else:)

Al Gore is the foremost expert of the Internet, since he created it and all. He must be a quadrillionaire!
