No I didn’t fall on my head. I mean that the Internet has become as common as electricity. When was the last time you asked someone what type of electricity someone had or who their provider was? The Internet delivers bits and bytes just as electricity delivers electrons. The Internet has become a utility that we rely on like electricity.

On-Star advertises that you can get an email note from your car when it has a problem. No mention of the Internet, no mention of electricity, just that the message goes from the computer under the hood to the computer on the desk. Or better yet, your phone.

What does this mean for all of us? Less time on the techno mumbo jumbo needed to make something happen and more on the value delivered. Exciting things are happening all around us as the Internet becomes a standard and disappears behind the wall outlet…just like its friend electricity.
