We can even know more knowledge because what we want to know can be found on the internet within a second. We do not need to search the informaion from different books any more. Just lilke the search engine, Google, just type a word you want and thousands, or even millions of information will be shown.

Websites, blogs can let people to create more information and at the same time, share more information to others. After an anticle has been posted online, many people can read and leave comments freely. If there is no restriction, everyone can share their own feelings. There is no limit for sharing. Technologies encourage more creation and sharing.

With the faster searching process, more time can be saved and it can help to improve the efficiency of work. So that technologies help to improve the way that knowledge is stored, created and shared and also help to improve the life of people.
