Social Studies Blog (Part 2 Assignment)

30 years ago, things were very different than life today. For example they didn't have iPods, Cell phones, Laptops, Flat Screen TVs, etc. However, there is one advancement in society that I believe has made the greatest impact on the world. It is called;

The Internet

It has brought the world closer together and given all countries and continenets all over the world a connection. Someone in Tokyo can send an email to someone in New York, and it can be read and replied to in a matter of seconds! 30 years ago, that would be impossible to do that quickly due to the fact that you would have to send a letter, wait for the person to return a new letter with a reply. The Internet speeds up communication to an extreme level. I believe that without the Internet, we might not have invented nearly half of the things that we have today!
