The internet also gives the people some kind of freedom. I did want to write freedom of speech but that does not count for all internet users.
Besides that it gives some knowledge back to the people. As long as you have an internet connection it gives you a pathway to almost all available knowledge in the world. Enriching tour life. Let’s 15 years ago the knowledge was in the hands of a limited amount of well educated people, the internet does change give you the chance to educate yourself, giving yourself the chance on a better future!
