In the beginning…
Pay careful attention as this question as may allow you to win a bet some day, When was the Internet founded? The answer is 1958. I am not going to go that far back as the Internet was kept under government use only for many years, but I will start sometime in the last 15 years.
Sometime over the last 15 year we were all introduced to the Internet. The Internet then was mostly filled with pages of text only content. There was very little online content, only a few websites had images. Preliminary Internet chat was made by typing text on a page and clicking ‘refresh’ to ‘post’ your remarks. There was no music or videos to listen to or watch. There were no fancy online tools, no ecommerce, no Google or social media.
As time went on…
For general users, the Internet evolved and presented new opportunities with the proliferation of online content. Music, videos, live camera feeds, webinars and of course almost real time status updates. For businesses, this presented a double edged sword.
Pro:
• Businesses are ‘always’ open
• Brand management
• Website globalization
• Reduced time to market
• Reduced operational costs
Con:
• Brand management (See Web Content Management (WCM) and Social Media post)
• Satisfying demand of relevant content
What lies ahead…?
As the Internet continues to evolve into the future we must ask ourselves the following questions:
• Who will be the audience?
• What will websites look like?
• What kind of online content will be demanded?
• How quickly can you adjust to change?
• How will you manage online content?
• How will you support your website?
• What is your online strategy?
Looking forward I think we can safely assume the following:
• Online content will continue to grow at an expediential rate
• Demand for personalized content will continue to expand
• Social Media channel will continue to increase
• Growth in demand of mobile content
• Globalization of websites will become the standard
