So when the internet came more complex and everyone was buying computers, it really effected the society of that time and it is still evolving and effecting today's society. The internet has had a greater impact than any other kind of communicative tool in history. Some things that the internet has been very useful is political campaigns. Both sides of the parties can use the internet to send out emails, blogs, raising money with text messages, and other things such as advertisements. The internet has also been a huge economic boom for our country and the whole world. Its been used to sell items all around the world and make business with people. The internet is kind of like a tool, it can be used to make peoples highest goals in life become real and be able to complete the goal. Another thing the internet has helped us is staying in touch with family and friends all around the world. Back in the old days everyone wrote letters and had to wait for weeks to get a reply and now that the internet is here we can send and receive emails in the matter of minutes from thousands upon thousand miles away. Another thing the internet has been used for is online dating. You can meet and talk to people online and get to know them and actually date them.
