1. I think one of the most positive changes the internet has brought is the ease of access to information. It's so much easier to do research online now with many databases that contain a wide range of books and articles. The internet allows us to find answers to questions almost instantaneously. This wealth of knowledge is available with just a few clicks of a mouse.
2. I believe one of the major social problems with the internet is that people are struggling to communicate face to face. It's so much easier to email or message someone on Facebook. You can delete and edit what you are going to say as many times as you want before you actually send it. Talking in person is much more difficult because once you say something, it can't be taken back. There isn't a way to edit a live conversation. People are also so involved online and in their phones that they don't even talk to each other. I think this is creating a lot of problems, especially in regards to forming lasting relationships. It's a lot easier to chill on the computer than go meet new people.
