Original Web Application In Review

I find it very hard to come up with an original idea for web applications. Everything idea I came up with was quickly squashed once I googled and found out it already existed. I found this to be a similar issue with the web applications that others came up with as well. With just a bit more research I found that they did in fact exist and they weren’t original ideas. The internet has come so far since I was even in high school. The speed and the availability of information have more than doubled. A majority of my friends didn’t even have internet now everyone walks around with cell phones that can access it in seconds. The days of dial up are long gone and it takes a special person to come up with the next popular form of technology.
The days of Steve Job and advances in technology seemed to have sprouted in such a short time. I wonder will there be another Steve Jobs out there that will be able to come up with web applications and advances as strong as him? If they are up to the challenge I say go for it. I on the other hand have no idea where to even start when it comes to an original web application.
