Anyone like to make a list up what would be a good setup when they started using the Internet and what would they like if they started now ..
When I started in the late 90's My targets were
A trustworthy ISP...Had 2 bad fails (including a Thief)...then joined up with AOL on Dialup
2015 it would be an ISP who was reasonably priced and provided a steady broadband speed.
An Email service with a "big Capacity" Then was Perhaps 25MBs if you were Lucky and often that would be Premium with lots of added Spam!
Also You'd be tweaking the email Filters nearly every other session
2015, and the majority of Email providers have moved to Smart inboxes also Auto Filter Spam @ source is deleted before it shows The old system would generate 50 Spam per day whereas The Smart Box generates only less than 5 items per month average (On a bad month)
Yahoo! is the winner her e.This email use to be out of Control(50+ Spam per day/) used to eat the then generous 15 MBs Web space!:mad:
Nowadays the same service delivers perhaps 1 or 2 Spam per month (With the Smart Mail feature)..My preset Filters are largely redundant)
and You have 1 TB of web space to play about with >Google's by contrast is just 15 Gb by default then you pay (and its also used in other Apps too)
I Have routed some of my RSS subscriptions Toward Yahoo And It Hardy makes a Dint (The navigation on the Newer Yahoo Emailbox is 100%)
These features which were only in alpha testing then and for me now a real help are RSS/Live newsfeed readers,(were very crude in the 90's but These today are featured in the App-stores
Keeps up will the latest on Forums and News feeds And auto Archived often in the Cloud (I have about 30 feeds running currently on 1 URL)
Then,there instant Messengering services in the 90's you mostly used SMS or Instant messenger then Came the primitive 1 to 1 web chat which frankly was atrocious..Web cam chat was also starting then (early broadband)
These days we have VOIP,Skype,WebRTC,Google Hangout an many more when you can get a secure connection and very high quality images sound
All of which was !@ a premium a few years ago Even A newbie can connect (Go live) to talk to another within a minute or 2, With experience a few seconds
2 Features which were Not even a pipedream in the 90's yet have become Invaluable help as they have really matures with 1 evolving beyond it original task
They are the Smart search box which also helps out well with auto spelling correction
The other is Translate which now has makes a decent attempt at instantly converting most foreign Language web pages into legible English rather than switching language links on that URL Only Con with Internet Explorer it rather weak .Instead I use either The 3rd parties browsers Native App Chrome and Yandex's are Very good bar the latter has a smaller database
in the 2020's I think subtitles with perhaps have a separate translated audio sound track on video will be the next development also the new visual Smartphone translation App (Early 2015) may be rolled onto the PC on YouTube(transforming signs and labels into your language)
Do look in on YouTube Switch on the Subtitles and Watch the AI try to get a grip in a Literal sense!.:o Though Some TV shows do show with near perfect subtitles
