has merged the three forms of communication together. Instead of mailing a
letter, a lot of people email each other by using accounts like; Google

and totally free. The internet is a continual on-going process which
keeps evolving
Privacy is really
important and needed as it is vital to have control about your account and know
how much information is going out to other people and how your account has been
set to use, an example if Google mail people should have control over this, it
makes it possible to see information edit and delete
Culture
Access is given to
anyone from any culture with an Internet connection, as technology is changing
and increasing, the bounds of what could once been shared across has become
endless.
Copy right is not allowed after the
law has been passed. The real issue for copyright is filing claims against
individual defendants, copyright law
isn’t what it was in 1976. The web (and mobile) have all forced the aging
statute to evolve in ways that were never expected in a world of digital
everything.
The internet has changed the nature
of business and organisations by breaking through distance barriers, also
allows communication between parts of the organization, supplier and customers,
the internet allows communication. It is faster and less expensive than faxing
or mailing and calling all over the world
