How I believe the wide availability of information on the Internet will affect different industries such as education and news, as well as politics and society in general.

I believe the wide availability of information will affect education in a major way. The simple fact that I am able to turn in class work any time of the day is proof of this. It all comes back to the Internet, because more and more people are able to almost instantly access the internet education can take place any place any time, this was not the case in the past.

The entire news industry will have to step their game up, they will have to find their niche in the market and use this wealth of information available on the Internet to their advantage. As an example I believe local news stations should focus on covering any and everything in their city and offer up close in depth coverage on all that seems to interest their viewers, using the Internet in their efforts or they will struggle to make it.

I believe the game of politics will become worse than it already is because politicians will use the Internet to spread their negative opinions about their candidates instead of using it to come up with the best solutions to solve the problems for their districts. I do believe the wide availability of information will force politicians to be more accountable for their actions, but as long as the whole world of politics remains divided the wide availability of information will do little to positively affect the growth of politics in America.

Society in general will be affected in many different ways. Some people will become inspired and use the wealth of information to do a number of positive things in all areas of study and even to help their own communities. Others will use it to rob and wreak havoc on consumers, the general public and even other countries, but the majority of society will use the wealth of information available online to complete daily tasks in their life, at home or work to improve the overall quality of the efforts they put forth.
