From its infancy as a means for scientists to share information, the vast Internet network and its customer facing Web Browser application has morphed through the decades.
1990's : use the Web Browser to browse
We looked up information if the URL is given.
Moasic, Netscape, Internet Explorer
2000's : use the Web Browser to search
First there were the portals such as Yahoo & AOL that provided news and search
Then came the pure search Google, successful because it webcrawled and cached the internet,
provide relevant search results by the number of links pointing to a website (?)
2010's : use the Web Browser to discover : see what your friends and others think
Maybe another name for this is Web 2.0, where users dominate content creation.
Blog, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter
