Every decade, the technologies have a revolution, in my short life, i had the chance to grow up when the current revolution was the deployment of the internet in France in 1995/1996. It was so exciting and i have learned and created so much things and met many cool, sawwy and interesting people. That was so great ! : bringing internet in everybody's life, that was an incredible experience and the best thing to work on.
Then 2001 comes, and everything goes down... At this time, some of my friends were fired, they started to travel around the globe and some others started to work on the cellphones technologies, but honestly it was really not exciting (doing ringtones and wap/imode services was not a difficult work), and the voice/video/internet convergence was really not a subject, so i decided to move in another way and to work for a large company on web content management and personalization but i was in my bubble and really far from my passion : the Internet.
Last month, Apple Iphone has been released in France, and i have never wanted a thing like this since 12 years (Working on the internet and help bringing the technology in everybody's house). The iphone will change our lives and change the way everybody's using the internet. There are many new usages possible now with this tool, and it'll be so cool to follow and to take part of this. Now, i can use internet everywhere, without any rule, without any firewall, without any limits. Apple did it : the technologies convergence with the iphone is real. Next year, everybody will use the internet everywhere, without any limit. This will change all the industry. This is why the iPhone is to be a major breakthru in the internet industry.
The revolution has just begun. This decade will be really interesting, a techology big bang is coming.
