The Internet - Best Ever Patented Invention

The information super highway and communication network that is the internet. Like an online universal library, every faculty of human learning can be accessed with incredible richness and diversity in less than a second. Boundless in capacity and expansion, its beauty is not only as an invention, but as the mother of infinite future inventions. As radio and television revolutionized the world before, neither has had as much impact as the Internet in the way people work, learn, express themselves, communicate and interact. Stimulating, and inspiring millions of people every day, it can help us work together more effectively to remove misunderstanding and bring about peace and harmony on a global scale. Maybe one day mankind will encounter extraterrestrial life that wishes to learn more about the human race and what day to day life is like on Earth. Providing the alien beings could understand our languages the internet would reveal billions of documents about our history, cultures and evolution. Daily blogs, email and instant messaging will enable them to find out more about us and the environmental problems we face for free. Watching online TV or endless artistic renditions on YouTube, will introduce them to the wealth and social variety of our species. No previous era has ever united the world’s intellectual and social consciousness under a single man made medium as fundamentally as the Internet; by far the world's best and most powerful ever patented invention.
