Introduction

Technology is universal, it affects every aspect of our lives whether we like it or not. It can be argued that technology began with the first tool man used. Over time, the word technology was associated with products that haven’t discovered their full potential, as well as the lack of explanation for consumers as to how they work. Information technology is extremely integral to next generation web technologies and modern modes of communication. This covers anything and everything from cell phones to computers to online video games. The impact that information technology has on us everyday can easily be taken for granted.

One of the greatest creations and miracles of modern and information technology is the Internet. Consumerist America finally went online around the late 1990‘s and to this day, the Internet is the most important medium for media. But not only for media is it crucial to the existence of the Internet, but social networking became popular around the early 2000s. Web sites like Friendster and methods of expression like blogging provided demand for more options which MySpace picked up [6]. Eventually the popularity of revealing private information about yourself to friends and family gained more popularity, resulting in the formation of Facebook.
