Thing 2

How has the Internet and the vast resource it can be affected your use of time at work and/or at home?

The Internet has made acquiring knowledge a much faster and more efficient process than it was fifteen or so years ago, which is about when the internet as we know it started to take shape. Anything from quickly finding a recipe for tonight's dinner to finding one more reference for a homework assignment at 3 in the morning on the night before it's due is now possible. Before that, if the media that contained the information was not in your immediate possession, you would just have to wait until you could make arrangements to obtain a physical copy of the media. You may have to wait several days or longer to find what you were looking for. Now savvy internet users are only limited by the speed of their internet connection and how fast they can type.
