The Internet Revolution is the New Industrial Revolution3

Oct 5, 2012 by Micha Kaufman

In the mid-90s, ARPANet was transformed from a military safety net to the civilian Internet that has
become such an integral part of our lives, bringing with it change not only technological, but societal and
epic in scope. Consider the following: Forty years ago, the average person followed an employment path
largely determined by birth and education, often committing to one employer until retirement.
Today you probably wouldn’t even consider that as a viable option. Success is no longer solely determined
by the right education, the perfect resume, or even your age and background. Teens as young as 12 are
now coding websites, producing films and building networks through social media. By the time they’re
adults, this online generation will already have some skills and real-world experience that a formal
education just can’t provide.

The Internet is bringing a revolution along with it. Access to information combined with global supply
and demand is reshaping established conventions and destroying old world definitions. To
understand the main idea of it, take the word 'local.' It once referred to your own street, town or
even the state you lived in, but now everywhere is local. Americans are outsourcing their services to
companies from China to Brazil, all from the comfort of their own homes. Where once our reach was
limited by physical boundaries, today almost everyone and everything is just a digital handshake
away.
Long established workplace conventions - from defined office hours to physical office space - are
being tossed out the window. Success was once defined by a suit and the ‘9 to 5’; now it can achieved
by working in pajamas and starting at noon after a morning at the gym and leisurely latte. The very
definition of ‘success’ is now drastically changing. It once meant a “keeping up with the Joneses”
lifestyle your neighbors would be envious of; now it’s about making personal, intimate choices about
how to live your life. Of course some still associate it purely with wealth, but for many, success is
being measured in other ways –happiness, freedom, health, more time for travel and family.

As we engage in a century where everyone is not only a global citizen, but a valuable “Brand in
Waiting,” we begin to understand that the Internet Revolution is in fact the Industrial Revolution of
our time. It’s a sweeping social disruption that brings with it not only new inventions and scientific
advances, but perhaps most importantly revolutionizes both the methods of work and we the
workers ourselves.
According to the text answer the questions below:

 What is the impact of Internet revolution in the new generations?

The Internet has changed commerce, education, government, health and even the way we relate
emotionally; it could be said that it is being one of the main instruments of social change today. It is
especially important how it has affected social communication itself. Makes communication much easier. It
is possible to meet and interact with many people from all over the world. Searching for information
becomes much easier, without having to go to traditional libraries. It is possible to find many different
points of view on some news, however it must be used responsibly so as not to generate dependency.

 What is the ARPAnet meaning? Explain

The ARPAnet (advanced research projects agency network) or Red de Agencias de Proyectos de
Investigación Avanzada in Spanish, was a computer network built in 1969 as a resilient means of sending
military data and connecting major research groups across the United States.

 Do you agree with the success definition given in the text?

Yes, since the technology from its origin until today has had important advances which facilitates
communication, search for information of interest, among other aspects, however it should be noted
that it should be used responsibly since when presenting These positive advances can also show
negative aspects.

Make a mind map with the main vocabulary and concepts of the reading and share it
