response to Eric

I completely agree with Eric and the rest of the class that the most significant flattener was Netscape making the interent public. Everyone in the class pretty much wrote the same thing but Eric's post made me actually sit and realize it. In the middle of his post he asks a question, "Could you picture the world without internet?" reading this most would just think of it as a rhetorical question but then he goes back and says, no actually think about it. It made me stop and think that we wouodl not be able to do more than half of our daily activities if there was no internet. We could not ahve a discussion within our class while noone is in the same room as eachother. I could not contact my bestfriend when she is over in Greece, or even find jobs as Eric pointed out. Netscape took the many countries of the world and brought them all to one central location and everyone can access. Although we take a simple email for granted it is truely an amazing thing.
