The internet has created endless amount of ways of communicating with one another and will continue to change. Because of the internet, there are new forms of communication that were previously separate from one another, but today they overlap and are interconnected.
When we look at things such as facebook, it is the new social network that millions of people over the world use. Before facebook, we had myspace and before that we had xanga. These social networks keep updating their own network or changing completely just to keep up with the internet and society must follow.
Today, many people rely solely on the internet. More and more businesses are relying on the internet to communicate with their costumers. Sad to think, what ever happened to the phone? Now we have online/instant chat, email, and skype. No one needs the simple things anymore. Does anyone ever write letters anymore? Yes, but they're called emails now. Does anyone read the newspaper? Sure, but it's now online reading for most people.
The internet can be over hyped sometimes, but it's a great networking and communication tool. It's interesting to see how this tool has changed society and it will continue to change.
