Large complex calculations and tasks that once seemed impossible could now be achieved in fractions of a second, infinite amounts of data became readily accessible and physical location and boundaries were no longer an impediment to communicate and collaborate.

Meanwhile, millions of new products and services were created, revolutionary advancements in productivity were achieved, new economies were created, and many would argue a safer and improved quality of life was established for all those who could participate.
