If we take a moment to stop and think about just how vast the internet has become in such a short span of time (60-some-odd years), it’s staggering. It has become part of our daily lives and its integration into the modern world is practically seamless and feels like it all evolved in the blink of an eye.

Answers to questions are received within moments. You no longer have to make that special trip to the library 30 minutes away to use microfilm readers for research. You aren’t even required to be logged in to your computer to do these things. It can all be done from your handy-dandy micro-computer, the smartphone.

The internet gives us access to fast communication platforms, diverse forms of entertainment from games to streaming networks, and feeds us news and a wealth of information happening in real-time.

If the internet shut down today, perhaps riots and mass chaos would ensue because we’ve forgotten how to live before it — before the life of instant gratification.
