About the author

Content: Through the internet and a more sophisticated organization of protests, it is more likely that the general public will succeed with their protests and may even be able to force a political revolution in those regions, which may improve the living conditions of millions of people on our planet. Improvements in information flows
In general, through the invention of the internet, information flows have been improved dramatically. Instead of writing letters like just a few centuries ago, we have now the opportunity to contact everyone we want via our smartphones in real time. Since the apps that allow us to communicate like this are often free, even poor people may now be able to communicate via those devices and may be able to improve their living conditions due to that. Increasing competition fosters global competition
Due to the internet and the facilitation of information flows, global competition has increased substantially. Ideas and strategies are shared quite frequently and money can also be collected from investors on a global scale. Therefore, all this increases the level of global competition and companies will have to adjust their strategy to this phenomenon. Even though some companies might get out of business due to this increase in competition, competition is generally a good thing since it forces companies to develop new ideas which will often be beneficial for humanity as a whole. Lower product prices
Since information flows are quite sophisticated, the processes behind production processes as well as the logistics have become quite optimized. Therefore, the production costs have been lowered to an almost optimal level as well, which often translates into lower prices for our material goods.
