The internet. It brought governments down and rewrote history...

The Net’s interactivity gives us powerful new tools for finding information, expressing ourselves, and conversing with others. It also turns us into lab rats constantly pressing levers to get tiny pellets of social or intellectual nourishment.
Nicholas CarrSocial networking platforms drove man closer to those in neighboring continents, while driving him further apart from those in his neighborhood.
