One of the best sources of information should be the Internet. Indeed, the Internet connects everyone and provides us with an environment in which to share, collaborate and improve information so that it can be used correctly by generations to come. Although it is a universally used information system, the Internet has become a problem for people as people depend on Internet-based applications that make the world easier, such as online shopping, banking and socializing. Having all this information at your disposal would encourage some people to use the Internet for much of their daily needs. This is a problem because people in modern society have been accustomed to using this interface as a form of interaction with the world; Access to the Internet has allowed people to become dependent on the Internet, causing us to lose touch with the outside world. We are in an age where we are all connected in one way or another to the internet and it has become a problem, we are slowly weaning ourselves off modern society and depending on an easy to use interface as our new environment. We are in an age where the Internet can be used for everyday tasks, like shopping, interacting with each other... etc., "[Modern Internet users] come to rely on this connected space for virtually all the information they have. need to live their lives.
