 It’s no exaggeration to say that the Internet has radically changed our world.
Think about life 10 years ago. Who could have imagined turning to your computer for such diverse activities as reading breaking news updates, downloading music, registering to vote and buying everything from airline tickets to groceries?
But perhaps even more amazing is the power of Web 2.0 – or as some call it, social media – which allows users of the Internet (you and me!) to generate our own content, build online communities and networks with colleagues, friends or even complete strangers and get access to unprecedented information. YouTube, LinkedIn, MySpace and Facebook indeed have become household names. |
