Changing culture with changing internet

Let’s think of 2004 and walk down the nostalgia path, considering a birthday scenario. You allocate time to visit the nearest physical stores and are forced to choose from the available options. For the celebration, since geographical constraints persist, only your friends and family living in the same town manage to express their joy in person, while some send greeting cards that reach late via post, others struggle to make long calls on the landline. Connectivity to close ones remains a challenge. 

Cut to the present day, E-commerce platforms have taken over, offering a vast, digitally curated product matrix with deliveries at your doorstep. With internet’s grace, birthday wishes now flood your Instagram DMs, phone buzzes with video calls from friends living worldwide. Communication has broken existing barriers using internet-based tools, making digital conversations closer to physical ones.  

Fast forward to the future, 2044. Digital fashion is the new revolution with hyper-personalized virtual experiences, including virtual try-ons leveraging augmented reality and computer vision. VR and AR headsets elevate the experience with parties in the metaverse while allowing for holographic guest appearances as well. In this era, communication knows no bounds, blurring the lines between the physical and digital realms. 

From a static information repository to a dynamic, AI-powered platform the internet has evolved and shaped global culture.
