Introduction The Internet has had a pervasive impact on nearly every aspect of modern life, from how we communicate and access information to how we shop and do business. The Internet has also changed the way we think, learn, and interact with one another. The world has become more connected than ever, and the Internet has played a significant role. One of the most significant impacts of the Internet is how it has changed how we communicate.
