The Internet's Role in Digital Society
There is no doubt that we're living in a technological age. According to Computer Industry Almanac Inc., more than 625 million computers are used worldwide, including some 182 million in the United States. A study done in 2000 by that same company reported that more than 400 million people across the globe use the Internet, up from a mere 3 million in 1994. That number could reach 1 billion by 2005.
With such a surge in Internet usage, it should come as no surprise that its impact on society has been heavy. Our purpose is to identify both positive and negative factors that determine the Internet's impact on our society. With that in mind, we invite you to read more about issues surrounding this technology.
