The Virtual Revolution

This video rightfully deserves this name as its title: the Virtual Revolution. This is because over the years, the internet has battled its way through generations of different ideas, people, challenges and struggles. It was intriguing to walk through its timeline and learn the series of problems and solutions the internet and web have created. For starters, the biggest takeaway from the evolving internet and web is how its effect on society has evolved as well. Initially, the web was created to connect easily different people from other places. This has been the most beneficial and revolutionary belief because to this day we rely on the web so heavily, it affects us in more ways than we can imagine. But the web took a turn as outside figures feel it must be monopolized or like with all things in this world it should have a line of power behind it to control it. This is a serious notion because since the web has so much interference in our lives, placing someone in charge of the web also puts them in control of your life.
