A huge innovation that anyone with a computer will tell you they use on a daily basis is Google. Since going public in 2004, google has single-handedly dominated when it comes to search engines. Before search engines, the internet was much harder to navigate. Often times, people found sites in large directories, sort of like a digital phone book, which coincidentally have become obsolete partly because of services like Google. Although google has been around for as long as i would have needed to use it(It came out when I was 3), I still think it's one of the most important innovations in my lifetime. I use it for everything, whether that be school or finding something in my free time. Google sort of ties everything on the internet together, making things easily accessible with a few keywords. I used google to research for this project, and to type in the name of the site on which I'm making this entry. it's used for simply everything on the internet, not to mention all of their other business endeavors, like all of their services like Docs, maps, and Youtube. They even pioneered self driving cars. Google represents innovation as well as any other company I can think of, because of their many projects and initiatives.

Another innovation that has occurred during my lifetime is the creation and spread of smartphones. In 2007, apple introduced the first iPhone, a groundbreaking development in the world of communication, making it so you can call, text, email, listen to music, and access the internet on one device. Before this, people had to have separate devices to do those things, a phone, an iPod/mp3 player, and a computer. The first time someone in my family got a smartphone was in 2012, my dad got an iPhone 4s. I was always asking to play games on it, I thought it was awesome to be able to play games on something that small, and for free too(with apps). I didn't get a smartphone of my own until I was 14, in 2015. Before smartphones, people were way less connected, and now communication is almost instantaneous. I texted my mom to ask her the date when my dad got his iPhone, and has a response within 30 seconds, which would have been unheard of without smartphones. Now, everybody and their mother has a smartphone, my parents, friends, even my grandparents have an iPhone! At this point, even young kids who are like 8 years old are getting iPhones.

One innovation that's happened in my lifetime is streaming video.  For the first 80% of my life, I got my entertainment from cable TV and DVD movies.  I would have to tune in at a certain time if I wanted to watch a show, and sit through commercials.  For movies, I'd either go to the movie theater or rent a DVD, which would oftentimes be scratched making it not play correctly.  All that would change a few years ago when streaming video became mainstream.  About 2 years ago,  my family got a Netflix account, making it so you could watch as many episodes of a show without commercials as you want.  Movie choices were endless, making it unnecessary to rent movies anymore.  This has changed the way that my family and I watch TV and movies dramatically.  I immediately jumped over to Netflix and stopped watching TV, and now my parents are starting to watch cable less and less. This is one example of innovation that is a big part of my daily life, considering I watch a lot of Netflix, and almost never cable TV.
