Social Impact

It has altered people’s ability to access several features of normal life with increasing ease. For example food and other goods can be ordered without even leaving the home, as well as finding information without the traditional need to visit a library or a specialist in a certain area of expertise. It can also lead to negative behaviours, such as downloading music and other files illegally, regardless of if they are appropriate or not, this is because it is illegal to download music without consent of the owner, but people still illegally download them for free.
The effects on the community are an increased ability to communicate with outside entities, such as companies to bring extra supplies or other necessities to the area. It also improves access to educartional tools that would otherwise be unaccessable, for example detailed documents contianing information on how to grow crops and medical information.
