Virtual Revolution

The Virtual Revolution film revealed the power of how the Internet and the web both work together to create a home of sharing and collaboration for its users. From the Internet's early stages, communities such as the The WELL helped define the online world. Today Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites have transformed the way users, especially college students, access information. Journalism students like myself have the web to thank for providing a voice and space to openly express opinions while also offering the ability to provide information to others. Although LimeWire, Grokster and other sites have come and gone, the Internet itself will never die. The Internet and web are revolutionary components to daily life and they will continue to shape the digital world.
