Internet Lecture

The lecture on internet in Mr. Miller's class was very good.  Who would've thought that one of the reasons internet started was because the government wanted a way to store information during the wars.   The internet really made everyone that stereotypical "nerd in the basement" and it is more socially acceptable since internet came around.  Unlike previous media's, the Internet impacted all media in some way because every media before the Internet, was put on the Internet.  Singers didn't have to search for a record label anymore.  They could post their singing on YouTube and get millions of hits.  Now, more than one-third of the people in the world get their news online.  Online news is better for some people because it is nonlinear so they can find the story and skip straight to the part they want to read rather than having to watch a whole news show to watch one story.  The Internet really did affect all previous medias and this lecture fully explained that.
