It started with a single message sent from one computer to another at UCLA 40 years ago, and now the Internet is so much a part of business and leisure that many of us couldn't survive without it. Try taking Facebook or Twitter away from your teenage child and you'll find out just how engrained the technology has become. Of course, for businesses like ours that were built on an online platform and where many of our team work remotely, the Internet is no luxury. It is an essential part of our operation - like electricity or telephones. Sure, you can't use the Internet for lifting a load or moving a pallet, but you can certainly use it to find the hardware for those jobs, find more efficient ways of doing them and even reach the customers whose demand led to the need to move the pallet in the first place. So, from all of us at Forkliftaction.com, happy birthday Internet - and many more to come!
