[QUOTE="PeterJ, post: 1624157, member: 214941"] major impact on disseminating information and speeding up and simplifying communications. but it is equally accessible to bad and re- invented news or propaganda to spread hatred and wrong thinking. also, it removes privacy and is less personal than old fashioned letters. also contributes to a new" shorthand" type of english , some of which is finding its way into common english usage and growth. eg lol. the internet connects people electronically even though they are thousands of miles apart. it has even been used to direct an operation by a surgeon on a sick person miles from civilization.] news is immediate from anywhere in the world from ordinary people. it has changed life on earth in a profound way.
