The Internet is playing a crucial role in our business model for success. While the products and services Cities Media Group is developing are not entirely web based, they do rely heavily on the medium to generate clients. Today I reflected on just how incredible the Internet is and what is has the power to do for my career.
While writing the contents of a media kit related to one of our service offerings, I found myself using the Internet frequently to fact check, conduct research and inspire creativity. At some point during this process I caught myself pausing and remembering what it was like to sit and watch a page load for 2o minutes as an 8-year old kid with dial-up and Prodigy as a web browser. In my fifth grade class we wrote the first research paper of our academic careers using hard copies of books for references. Now it seems like that was the Stoneage. It was only 15 years ago.
Today the Internet is a crucial part in the fabric of our lives. It's created realms for new businesses and careers, unleashed creativity and free expression, connected us globally and entertained us thoroughly. Here we stand in 2007 with our company launching and the web serving as the backbone of our livelihood. It's scary to think that we are investing so much in a virtual world, but the real world is taking notice that the future is even more digital. We're looking to be at the forefront of that transition now that the dot.com bust taught us how to do it right.
