Only recently has the internet started with faster packets thus allowing for voice calls like the telephone.
The internet destroyed barriers to entry into many industries. In the telephony industry it made a 3 trillion dollar barrier 10-20,000 dollars for some simple modems routers and operating systems as opposed to grand land structures of wire and polls
Internet Marketing
“It is a full employment bill for Marketers.”
It is a new medium for conducting business in a high speed world. Internet marketing supersedes conventional marketing because it provides instant feedback with little investment monetarily.
Internet marketing allows for up to date information which in a world of short attention spans is important because trends are changing constantly and attention spans have shortened.

What can be tracked when has the line of privacy been breached, is it wrong for our searches to be used against us in a court of law?
Better yet “how much power do advertisers have?” is it wrong for them to use it if we have offered it up to them willingly or unknowingly?
