This month is proving itself to be an important one for the internet. From its history to its future, there have been plenty of discussions on this four-decade-old piece of technology. On September 2nd, we celebrated its 40th birthday and reflected on its history and how much two computers sharing information in a UCLA lab has momentously change the world in which we live.
As the 80s brought the “.com” domain name, today’s talk is about the imminent release of the new generic top-level domains (gTLD). A forecasted release date of February 2010 will substantially increase options beyond the dot-com and introduce hundreds like .eco, .food, and .bank.
Looking towards the future, the most apparent growth opportunities reveal themselves in mobile technology. I see this more and more as the web adapts to be more mobile-friendly: fitting sites to our smart phones’ screens, social media tie-ins, and the increased development of apps. As an email to phone provider, it is exciting to be a part of this rapid change, like being in the front seat of a speeding sports car.
As solution providers specializing in Hosted Exchange Email, I find the Microsoft Exchange 2010 release the thing I’m most looking forward to in the coming year. This platform has become so popular that it is compatible with most new smart phones. The Palm Pre, HTC Android devices, Apple iPhone all have ActiveSync support; and if a phone doesn’t support it, you’ll readily find apps that will.
The future of technology, like a good wine, keeps getting better with age.

Does anyone think the Web will ever become obsolete?
Ha! Not a chance! The Internet may evolve significantly, but it will never die.
When Edison invented the electric light bulb, he knew it would change the world. I wonder if the people in that UCLA lab felt the same way.
