"Hooked on Internet? Help is a just a click away." - Unknown The quote truly says it all. When it comes to the Internet, there is nothing that you can't do.
In today's world, we are run by technology and the flow of updates to already existing technology seems to be never-ending. With that said, it is really no surprise that the Internet has definitely become a true part of everyday life.
In the US alone there are 266,224,500 Internet users; in Asia there are 825,094,396. Throughout the entire world there is said to be 1,966,514,816 people who use the Internet and the number continues to grow each day.
Along with the Internet came the millions of websites that we all use. While some don't become as popular as others, many have become so common that they seem like an everyday must have.
Below are five websites that have clearly changed how we function both online as well as offline.
Even though the Internet has been available for public use since 1992, it's only been in the last few years that some websites really became giants. The websites below can easily be called a part of everyday life for many.
1.Google - Changed virtually everything
As extreme as it sounds, it's pretty safe to say that when it comes to the Internet, Google can be found anywhere and everywhere. No matter what kind of activity you do online, from watching videos, to blogging, to just reading the local news online, you're probably some way, somehow using a service provided by Google, and many times you don't even know it.
When you watch a YouTube video, you're using a Google service. If you've ever used Blogger, that's a Google service. Chrome: Google browser. If you've ever seen a Doubleclick ad; yep, that's Google too.
So in essence, Google is everywhere; ubiquitous. From watching videos to uploading pictures to show to friends and family, whether you know it or not, Google is a very well used service all over the world.
If you ever need to get somewhere, you probably go to Google.com. If you need to search for something, Google.com is probably the first place you go.
