  • Antiquity, The Middle Ages, The renaissance The Industrial Revolution, The Internet.

    It's strange to think that we don't even really know when it started.
    But it used to fit on a single computer.

    And now we have no idea how big it is.

    We do know that there are over 4 billion pages live on the internet,
    Almost a million apps downloaded every hour,
    About 250 billion emails sent every day,
    And that 1 in 6 marriages occurs because the couple met online.

    Online.

    The internet is awesome.

    Before the internet, ordinary people could only publish their ideas and creations if they went through a gatekeeper.

    The internet allows for subcultures to form and expand.
    If you're one in a thousand then on the internet there are two and a half million people who identify with the things you love. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
