 * 1) ====//What "digital innovation" do you feel best deserves the title of "revolutionary" and why?//====

Many digital innovations can be deemed "revolutionary," but without the Internet many of these innovations would not even exist. Therefore, the Internet best deserves the title of revolutionary. The Internet has changed the world. It has revolutionized society in everyway. It has created a global village, with endless communication and possiblities. The advancement of society is directly linked with the development of the Internet. The Internet is such an intricate and vital part of life today that if it crashed worldwide there would be huge problems in all aspects of life, from power grids, to banks, to airports; everything would struggle to function.

Aside from the Internet's function as a neccessary tool it has also become one of the largest sources of information. The Information age is correlated with the Internet because of the widespan of resources, such as wikipedia, encyclopedias, news websites, library domains, and other websites. Circulating information on the Internet has forever changed the news and media industry. The Internet has changed businness, education, socializing, healthcare, travel, communicaion, personal uses such as PDAs and GPS and many more aspects of life. The Internet is the most deserving of the title revolutionary.

(Side note: I came across a very interesting article a few months ago regarding the sun. Apparently solar flares are potentially dangerous for our electrical systems and communication systems because the energy released can completely wipe out the Internet and other devices. I think I found the article on yahoo homepage, not the most credible, but none the less interesting! I cannot imagine our world without the Internet).
