So yesterday I wrote a fake myth for my Greek Mythology class. The entire time, I needed to keep my computer open so that I could look up Greek words and other real myths concerning what I was writing. And I realized, I don’t understand how the world functioned before the internet. I know this is a big statement but think, in order to write a fake myth I needed information from 5 different web sites. Before the internet, I would have needed to go to the library and spend hours looking up these random pieces of information. Instead, I simply sat on my bed and found everything I needed in less than 5 minutes. Now think of it on a larger scale. War can now be conducted over the internet; policies can be made instantly from across the world. The internet is one of the most important advancements of the modern world.
