Because without the web, the Earth would be a super lonely place. Don’t believe us? Well, before the World Wide Web (WWW) was created, people had to spend a lot of money to contact someone far away. Today, voice calls, chats, and video calls are available at the click of a button. This is just one of the advantages the WWW brought to the world. It also made it easy to search information, access songs, find news online, and do thousands of other things that have empowered the world today. Thank your lucky stars you were born in a world that has the World Wide Web!  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/things-you-might-not-have-heard--2318856/support).
