About the author

Content: However, through the use of the internet, it is possible to chat in real-time. Think about how crazy this really is! Therefore, the internet provides us with a great opportunity to stay connected with our friends all over the world. Global job opportunities
The internet also provides us with a variety of global job opportunities. Nowadays, it is quite easy to apply to companies in foreign countries via the internet. However, just a few decades ago, all this was not possible at all and people had to rely on the local job market by searching for jobs in newspapers instead. Thus, if you want to work abroad, the internet gives you a great opportunity since it is quite easy to apply for those kinds of jobs online. Even if you just want to work in your home country, the internet also facilitates the application process since you can just apply to several companies on their homepages without having to send all your references and credentials in physical form anymore. Human rights are strengthened
Also from a human rights perspective, the invention of the internet has done a fairly good job. Since everything has become much more transparent, the problem of worker exploitation has decreased.
