INFORMATION AGE has changed
people, technology, science, and
even the way people think.
INTERNET is considered as the
most prominent innovation of
information age. It has changed
the way people do everything. It
has made people more educated,
smarter and more mature
however, people became lazier.
Because of these inventions, new
laws have to be put in place to
stop piracy, hacking, identity
theft and cyberbullying.
