I remember the old days when the internet bandwidth was not as high as we got today, the web was very static these days and the ideas to use the web in work or ordinary life was limited. Now, the high bandwidth and discovering the new web trends such as cloud computing and blogging give us more capabilities to communicate and share ideas. The web becomes more like a big hard desk or big library where no one is using the old CDs library to save content.

When I was learning graphic design many years ago, it was very hard to find enough resources. Furthermore, it was expensive to get few image library or so on a CD. Things have changed alot these days, the new internet resources sharing concept brings alot of content to be free, and the blogging concept makes it easy to share content with others. As a result for this concept alot of design blogs and sites have come a life to deliver designers with massive number of daily updated content such as share tutorials and resources, unique tutorials, inspirations and ideas.
