Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, (2014). Three Technology Revolutions. [online] Available at: http://www.pewinternet.org/three-technology-revolutions/?__scoop_post=3ddc9d00-d320-11e4-f147-90b11c3998fc&__scoop_topic=4158058#__scoop_post=3ddc9d00-d320-11e4-f147-90b11c3998fc&__scoop_topic=4158058 [Accessed 26 Mar. 2015]. In this article, the author "Pew Research" reviews the impact of the internet and the exponential growth its had since the introduction of broadband capabilities. The authors use data obtained in studies to show the growth of internet users since the introduction of broadband, to try and identify the internets growth since broadband speeds have become available. Their research focuses on gaining access to internet users and broadband users. This article is useful to my own research as it describes to trend of internet today and its projected users in the future. Given this the authors show that the impact on internet users has dramatically increased since the introduction of broadband and is a major trend in today's industry, and is projected to be so in the future.

The internet and mobile phone allow more people to interact and connect differently. Within the next 5 to 10 years it will most likely become more advanced, continue to be important and able to help and provide people with information or services.
