Another 25 Years of Dot-ComAnother 25 Years of Dot-ComTwenty-five years ago today, a now-defunct #xvendor of artificialTextile fabricsintelligence registered "symbolics.com." It was the first dot-com and represented the birth of a revolution. Even after the bubble of the then-nascent dot-com economy burst 10 years ago, the commercial Internet has become the economic force of our time, delivering $1.5 trillion in annual economic benefits to businesses and consumers. The Internet has transformed business, politics, daily life, and entire societies throughout the world. In the Internet economy, consumers not only find the specific product or service they are looking for, but they can also shape and customize those same products and services. Remarkably, this is just the beginning.The dot-com economy is by no means mature. About 1.7 billion of the world's 6.7 billion people use the Internet, meaning 75% of us are still off to the side of the flow of e-commerce. Less than a third of Americans buy things online. Only about half the small businesses in the U.S. have a Web site.So what would a "completed" Internet revolution look like? No oneTextile fabricsreally knows.

Faster broadband service, more affordable and accessible technology, policy initiatives that close the digital divide, and economic growth will enable billions more people around the world to join the dot-com economy.Already, more and more people are becoming comfortable with online self-service applications in commerce, leading to lower prices and more convenience. The advent of ubiquitous connectivity is also beginning to redefine what we once thought of as the Internet. In the future, the Internet will be integrated with the world around us, enhancing our interaction with the physical world. The adoption of IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) will mean that Internet addresses will be available for every device, sensor, and even every person. Once IPv6#x is fully implemented, thereTextile fabricswill be more IP addresses than grains of sand on the planet.相关的主题文章：
