The Internet: Evolution, Education, and Ethics
Did you know the internet, which we now rely on for almost everything, started as a simple project in the 1960s? The aim was to share information among a few computers, but look how far it has come! Today, we can connect with people from across the globe, access innumerable resources, and learn about anything at the tip of our fingers.
The internet has revolutionized education. With online classes, students can learn from home or anywhere else, making education more flexible and accessible. There are countless educational apps, websites, and interactive textbooks, making learning more engaging and fun.
