There wasn't too much traffic yesterday as I traveled across the James River Bridge on Memorial Day. And according to the John & Jeff show, the drop in drivers on Memorial Day was steep for 2008. Yes, America hasn't seen a drop this low in 40 years.

So what were Americans doing since they weren't driving? Chances are, many were hanging around the house, watching television, and maybe, just maybe, using their personal computer and surfing the World Wide Web. Afterall, online users continue to increase each year according to Internetworldstats.com

Order your household goods from your computer, get your degree online, and email for free instead of spending $0.42 on a stamp. This is what the Internet is offering everyone.

However, there is plenty of room for improvement. Perhaps the next Google, Powerset is launching a superior search engine that claims to outperform Google, Yahoo!, and MSN. Powerset is currently teamed up with Wikipedia, another source for information that is practically its own search engine.

The technology sector is one sector that has a promising future. It has already proven monster returns for smart investors, despite a rough patch kicking the early part of our decade off.

Tech Hampton Roads believes in the future of technology, and we know how it is affecting our daily lives.

We hope you do too.
