The internet was introduced to the world as a concept in the late 1960s and early 1970s, evolving from ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), funded by the U.S. Department of Defense. ARPANET successfully connected its first computers in 1969, marking the beginning of the modern internet. By the mid-1990s, commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) emerged, and the Internet began reaching households globally, transforming communication, business, and entertainment.
With the advent of the internet, the world has transformed digitally. To visualize the changes, we can use free image generators to create scenes of a city from 1900, 1950, 2000, and 2050, as shown in the photo, making the transformation quite obvious.
To explore the interconnected dynamics of digital transformation, we must first define key terms and focus on how this process fosters disruption, spurs innovation and invention, and enhances collaboration.
