问题                     The Impact of the Internet on Society

Looking at society today, one may find that the situation has certainly evolved.【T2】______Even a decade ago if you were to think about whether or not the Internet had a significant impact on society, the answer would likely have been probably not. While the Net may have been considered a neat innovation, it was not like anyone "needed" it.
    However, over time this perception has changed for many individuals in society. The Internet has become, for the most part, an absolute necessity, either by requirement or by desire.【T3】______People take it for granted that the Internet will be available, and dependency on being connected has become the norm.
