Our presence online- the takeover

The society that we live in is becoming a more "social" world. We rely receiving most of our general knowledge/information on topics in that are current in the from the web. Honestly I prefer to watch the news online, i read the paper online, I follow news station twitter. We're a society that uses social media as a reliable source. 20 years ago the Internet didn't have a huge impact on the lives of everyday citizens. The first use of the internet was solely used for military. Honestly I believe email was the starting point for the massive boom in Internet activity in the 1990's and in the 2000's chat rooms and social media made the activity rise even higher. Now in the the 2010's were extremely mobile world. And people with apple/android products are addicted to their mobile apps, we can not function without constantly checking our every 10-15 seconds.
