Week05-The Greatest Invention

“Technology comes from human nature.” I believe everyone familiar with this slogan. In order to more convenient life people tend to invent something to help themselves. And I think Internet is absolutely one of the greatest invention for humans. It lets information and resources can be delivered quickly and immediately nowadays. Although this may cause many people to have "Internet Addiction Disorder", but In my opinion, if without Internet many modern habits and business models will also disappear, such as on-line shopping and live stream etc. Therefore, it can’t be denied that Internet has truly changed our lives. We seem can't live in a world without it!
