As I have been exploring Chrome recently, I have stumbled (several times) upon Google's 20 Things I Learned About Browsers & the Web. THis book explains some of the changes in web computing that accompanied the arrival of html5 and other recent developments in Internet computing.
For a few years, I have been taking with educators about the changes in the Internet-- we once talked about how the web was going to be "the infinite library," but the dynamic nature of information and the interaction available via today's web sites extends communication and information far beyond the encyclopedic predictions of the past. Take some time and read through the book... it will help you understand why things are different than they were when you first learned about computers.
