How Has the Internet Changed Our Lives? Part 2

Last time we began our look at how the internet has changed our everyday lives. Truthfully, it’s hard to imagine how the internet, Google, and therefore SEO haven’t had an impact on some aspect of life! We continue to nut out the specifics.

1. Business is now often conducted with no physical customers. Ecommerce couldn’t have existed before the internet – now some of the biggest companies in the world don’t actually have a storefront that people can walk into.
2. Businesses are often run with no physical employees. Okay, maybe not completely – but telecommuting and freelancing have seen an unprecedented explosion since the internet became commonplace in people’s homes.
3. Copyright has become much easier to violate, unfortunately. The music and movie industries are suffering especially with the invention of peer-to-peer technology, after the first incarnation, Napster, was successfully shut down.
4. People are now able to publish their own thoughts about something, and have it accessible to a multitude of people at the same time, via Blogger and WordPress’s free platforms.

It’s amazing – and we aren’t finished yet! Stay tuned.
