It is amazing how the Internet (Social Media) is changing people’s lives. People are able to quickly do research and gather data on the web, navigate through websites flawlessly, and most people are able to find anything on the Internet in ten seconds flat thanks to search engines such as Google. The Internet has provided our world with a different means of communication and it is accessible to anyone at any time at a click of a mouse.
