The Internet means Opportunities
Like opportunities to study or start a business, so we can improve our lives and uplift our communities. Or the ability to communicate, so we can smile at our far-off loved ones, or share knowledge to advance our understanding of the world. It even helps us find that perfect binge-worthy show or scroll endless videos, so we never say “I’m bored” again.
