In this day and age, it is kind of hard to imagine life without the Internet or any advanced technology. The Internet is used by nearly everyone in some capacity, and it is pretty important for some things. It has advanced the world in the professional sense and entertainment wise, but life before the Internet seemed so much more simple.
