As society battles with it's own consequences, it is obvious how it adapts to economic struggle. We have altered technology to appeal to those who have less. Access to the internet is essential in order to function in modern society. Luckily, all one has to do is pay $200 for a tablet and mooch off of McDonalds wifi in order to shop, make social connections, read the news, and much more. The internet embodies freedom. We all know that no matter how much the government tries to regulate the internet, there will always be someone smarter who stands up for internet freedom. These anonymous heroes keep the masses in mind when they hack, jailbreak, and even illegially copy items that seem unjust. Sometimes even for fun. The internet provides a haven and meeting place for those with independent thinking.
Since America's most recent depression, entertainment has moved from paying for a night out at the movies, to staying in and watching youtube or hopping on facebok all night. Is this a healthy habit? Of course not. But it sure is cheaper.
