Of course, my love for the internet is likely a generational thing. I grew up with it, and it has become one of my primary means of communication. Most importantly, I think the internet is a great way to spread information and show different opinions. For example, the Kony 2012 campaign, despite how ineffectual it ended up being, could not have become as well known if not for the internet. The internet is also a way to show support for a topic. One has to look no further than Facebook to see support and activist groups with millions of members. People even sign petitions and organise demonstrations online. The internet is the easiest and most expansive way to receive knowledge, but is becoming increasingly more important in organising people and spreading awareness for equal rights and freedom.
