That and the internet as a whole. It was around 1996 when my parents got AOL for the first time, but before then, if I wanted any type of information, I had to make a trip to the library and research it old-school.
One of the major issues is related to the convenience of mass-relaying of information and promoting the wrong sh!t at lightning speeds through the internet/social media.
