Dark Ages To Present Day Living

When the great Roman Empire collapsed spectacularly across the whole of western Europe in the middle of the fifth century Ann Domini there followed several centuries the history of which we know very little of.

These early medieval times are known as The Dark Ages. It seems probable that was some kind of implosion and collapse of all the advancements the Romans had bought to the otherwise Barbaric west and a kind of destructive gang warfare followed.

Almost like some Sci-Fi films where the nuclear holocaust has wiped out civilisation and the mob rules with looting and killing The Dark Ages were centuries of very little human achievement.

The Industrial Revolution with the age of steam and machine production was arguably the most productive time since the Roman era but now we are living in an even faster changing world all centred on something called computing and wireless.

Where the Nineteenth Century Industrial Revolution was all about big heavy machines and the birth of mass production the times we live through today is all about speed of processing, global communication and miniaturisation.

A one hundred year old person living today will have witnessed the first cars on the road and the first flimsy aeroplanes. In the second of the fifty years they will have heard of early mainframe computers and in the last thirty years will have learnt about personal computers.

Only thirty years ago the World Wide Web was developed and over time the internet has come into being.

At the same time wireless technology has affected all aspects of our lives. Mobile devices helped by a few hundred of the couple of thousand working satellites currently orbiting earth are now commonplace in most road vehicles and planes, trains and boats.

The billions of mobile phones in use around the world can call anyone anywhere across the globe and in turn can be pinpointed by satellite triangulation to the exact point of their emitting signal.

Compared with the hundreds of years during which the western world not only stagnated but probably reversed in man's achievements, these past fifty years have seen remarkable technological advancements that have changed lives dramatically.

One big change in just a couple of the last two decades is the effect the internet is having on shopping habits and retail shops that may have stood unchanged one hundred years or more in the average High Street are now closing or struggling to exist.

Every business now relies on advertising their product or service on the internet and the portal into that business is through a website.

A good web design London is essential for any type of business from A to Z in London or any other part of the world.

From Architect to Zoo Keeper there are half a billion World Wide Web sites and who knows how much bigger the whole thing can get before it too implodes.
