Internet All Around

The Internet is actively being spread all over the world. Google and Facebook among other companies have joined an organization with the sole purpose of making it more affordable to underdeveloped countries. I believe that with the Internet continuing to spread, access to it has become a human right, not just a privilege. While not every country grants its citizens completely free speech, this is one important right that the internet facilitates, most often through social media. One ideal that America was founded on was the duty of the citizens of a country to take action if something with their government is not acceptable. The use of the Internet has already proven in the Middle East that groups of people can unite through shared ideas and take decisive action as a group. While these more basic rights are facilitated through the Internet, these will not be the only benefits when underdeveloped countries gain access. Increased potential for education and commerce, and the facilitation of these basic human rights will be the start of a new way of life for much of the world.
