The users as well as the usage of the internet has evolved within the past decade (2000-2010). Through web 2.0 technology, social media, css based design, not only have the aesthetics of webdesign but the users as well.

Back in high school the only heavy users of the internets we’re the tech geeks who liked fiddling with code, fanboyed over their video games, created websites and shrines and then blogged by hard coding html. The net was being used by people who actually took time to understand the net, how pages are made, the time it took to get something online, in all senses geeks. We’d blog and blog and its was all in good fun.

The problem with the internet now a days is that social media has made the internet a past time for more people than before and it has become so easy everyone thinks their a genius at it. It’s not just the tech geeks anymore, it includes journalists, mothers, fathers, grandparents, vanity-obsessed-shopping-everything-and-eveything-I-do-is-interesting-air-head girls… you name it there’s a clique in the internet for it.

This is not to say that I’m a networking genius but I simply just miss the days when we had a little less idiocy on the net
