The internet is a network of computers that are connected together that let people communicate between each other from computer to computer. The internet allows one person to communicate instantly with another person no matter the distance this allows me to connect with my mom who is across the country and vise versa. While the web is a graphic interface on the internet that has websites that users can use and look at. The web is a system that is on the internet. The Web is a common area for people to trade information through the use of websites.

Global Impact: The Internet and Web have Impact every part of life. They have made communication much easier and faster being able to email, text, call, etc. someone across the globe instantly. Education has improved if there was no internet when Covid-19 occurred and students couldn't be in class if there was no way for students and teachers to connect with each other from different places and being able to interact simultaneously students would had have had a hard time learning the material. The web brough ecommerce allowing consumers to buy products online and never having to have to go in a store ever. Social interactions have become both online and in person and in some ways all online for people doing long distance relationships in collage they are able to video call and see each other and talk to each other. When someone want's to find out something about anything no one goes to the library first but instead first goes to the Web and looks up there question.

Challenges and Ethical Consideration: Privacy is a big concern especially with TikTok today as there is a bill in congress that will effectively ban TikTok if the company based in China doesn't sell it then TikTok will be banned in the US. This is because of the US government worried about the Chinese government making TikTok change the algorithm to change views in elections. This in my opinion would go against US citizens first amendment right but this calls into question what is more important free speech or national security. The digital divide is a big problem as almost everything happens on the internet and web so not having access to these can be a big problem luckily most if not all library's have computers and public schools are starting to give computers to students allowing them access to the internet and web. Students in low income areas receiving computers helps to decrease the digital divide as it gives younger generation which has the most of any generation on the internet which helps.
