1. Internet

2. It has been said that one of the hardest things to
explain about today's society if someone was
dropped in a time machine from 1914 is the
following: "I have a tool that fits in my pocket that
contains all the information in the world and I use it
to look at funny videos of cats and quarrel with
people I don't know." Has the availability of all this
information and the interconnectedness of practically
the whole global population offered by the Internet
led to mostly good or mostly bad consequences?
