Telecommunications and the internet have become integral parts of our lives, and the technology behind them is constantly evolving. Spark’s Network Evolution Lead, Michael Molony, is excited about the possibilities of new developments like 5G, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, robotics and self-driving vehicles. Spark’s ‘Hello Tomorrow’ kaupapa captures the optimism for the future that these technologies bring. Major milestones in the evolution of the internet include the introduction of the first mobile phone network in 1987, the move to 3G in 2009, and the ability to use the internet on mobile phones in 2006.
