I sent my first e-mail message in 1995, to a member of my development team. That was the only person I knew who had an e-mail address in those days.� I also did my first web search around that time. I think I used Lycos for this. I entered some keywords into a text box, separated by Boolean operators, and received a list of web pages that I could click on that referenced these words. Sixteen years has passed. I receive about 400 e-mails a day now from people all over the world. E-mail has become part of my life and has changed the way I communicate and the way I work. I don?t know anyone anywhere who doesn?t have an e-mail address. When I went to Sikkim, India, last year, a Buddhist monk in a remote Himalayan monastery even gave me his e-mail address. The web has also evolved in a similar fashion?it seems to be everywhere and connects everyone, for everything. Internet technologies are now toppling dictatorships in the Middle East.
