5Time warp 1996 Today The Internet had 20 million users in 1996 (most connecting via 14.4k or28.8k dialup). Today in India alone there are 150 million households thatare connected. In 1996 the average user spent 30min / month online (today this is morelike 27hrs / month). The average household today creates more Internet traffic than theentire Internet back in 1996. Today most people have a Terabyte of content in their homes (I-pod,backup HDD, digital photos, thumb drives etc). In 1996 we had a 40MBHDD and moved things around using a 1.44MB floppy disks. Evolution of online productivity (e.g. e-Commerce, You-tube, SocialNetworking, real-time applications etc)

6What’s my point? Initially the Internet was uncomplicatedOver time our usage of the Internet has evolvedInnovations are facilitating new online services/applicationsUsers and consumers have expectations that they cancomplete tasks and transactions online Static infrastructures don’t accommodate change very well Customers are less responsive to demands Rapidly accelerating complexityRight now there is a large shift towardsIT Agility for online applications
