The development that is involved that made the internet much faster and beneficial for people is web browsers and processor speed. In the past there was a limit that really limited the access of the internet. This limit was the processor speed as the processors became much faster making lot more calculation than before. Therefore the amount of data that can be downloaded is much less than today. Web browsers today have been a major step thanks to again the processors, and also to better software design that made network website such as Facebook easy and beneficial to use.
The future of the internet looks bright not only processors are being faster each day, but the amount of people that uses it also find it more easier than before. The processors make the internet much faster making web browser to do faster downloads. As the internet gets faster the files due to technological improvements will also be smaller because of compression. This will also lead to more services such as high resolution video streaming. Possibly this is the next step for Facebook, high res video will be a major step for it. As the internet gets easier to be accessed around the world more people will be able to access Facebook since the internet setup and web browsers become more intuitive.
