It was on 1 August 1991 when Tim Berners-Lee posted a proposal for the World Wide Web on the alt.hypertext newsgroup, and is the very reason we recognise and celebrate the historic and transformative impact it has had on the world today. It has revolutionised not only how we interact with others but also how goods and services are advertised globally.
The Significance
By being introduced to the internet, it has completely transformed our communications with each other, from enabling instant email interactions to social media and video calling, which saved many businesses during the 2020 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The power of the internet not only saved businesses with video calling but also provided students with access to their online courses, videos, and digital libraries to continue their studies. It’s hard to think of a world without search engines…
Within the digital world, we know that e-commerce has revolutionised retail and connects businesses with new audiences every day, and with the future being led by artificial intelligence (AI) and how it analyses data and provides informed decisions and predictions, these emerging technologies work great together.
AI can help improve user experience (UX) by tailoring website content and interfaces to individual users based on their preferences and behaviours. It also enhances customer satisfaction by providing customer support via AI-powered tools.
