Finding, Storing and Sharing Information

We now live in a day and era where we have access to all sorts of technology and information. In the past information was harder to come across and you had to rely on asking your parents and if you were lucky you would have access to an encyclopedia.

Nowadays it is much easier to come across information with the internet. We can use search engines such as Google or a specific website such as Wikipedia which has information on just about anything. 

We can store information on a computers hard-drive, or we can use cloud computing. This is when your information is sent to a large storage database that you can access from anywhere around the world with an internet connection because you access the information from the internet.

People can share information easily today thanks to social networking sites such as Facebook and twitter, these can be used simply for sharing among your friends. If you wanted to share to a broader audience you could write a blog on the topic or you can make a wiki or edit an already existing one.

In conclusion we live in a day and age where we have access to countless technologies that give us more access to information and ways of distributing information all around the globe.
